Sept 15th, 2016 – Today Larra took me out to the rural side of Langley, out by Campbell Valley Regional Park. It’s horsey out here. Larra and I were sitting on a bench when we heard “clip-clop clip-clop” trotting up the road. By the time I got my camera out the rider had slowed to […]

Sept 13, 2016 – River Rock Casino. We were riding the sky train back from the airport when I spied the casino and commented on it. Larra said she’d heard of it but had never been there, so we hurriedly jumped off at the stop. All I can say is, “Wow.” Glitz and glimmer and […]

Sept. 13, 2016 – The steam powered clock in Gastown, Vancouver, BC. It’s really dramatic in cold weather.

Sept. 13, 2016 – The Gastown district of Vancouver, BC. One of the original Vancouver trolley cars. Larra says it’s very similar to the ones her Dad used to drive.

Saturday, September 10, 2016 – Larra surprised me this morning when she asked if I wanted to go to the car show in Langley, one of the largest in North America. I’d read about it in the news, but hadn’t bother asking her because I assumed she wouldn’t be interested. We had a great time. […]

September 4, 2016 – We drove over to Cloverdale today, and Larra took me on the walking tour of this Vancouver-area community. Afterwards we toured the Casino and horse track. and ate poutine.

September 3, 2016 – Well. After 73 days on the road, we’re back at Larra’s place, in Surrey, BC. It’s funny how everything seems strange and different after being gone for so long. Photos taken from Larra’s back yard. LOL – Larra’s city block is about the size of the area from my cabin to […]

July 18, 2016 – Larra wanted this photo of Three Dog Bakery in Rochester, Michigan, for one of her friends in Vancouver, who has a shop with the same name. I had to turn around and go around the block twice before she got a good shot. That’s us in the red Toyota in the […]

Since I got to Vancouver on May 27, through Sunday, June 12, this is a rough map of the places we’ve visited. Just a few more days until we’re on the road to Kamloops, Jasper and Points East.

Jim: Larra convinced me that I had to visit her in Vancouver. In February. Actually, she lives in Surrey, a suburb of Vancouver. Me, the guy that left Key West because it was too cold in the winter. How did it go? Hint: This photo is from Larra’s back porch, at 12 noon on a […]
