The last full day in Vancouver (well almost)
Sunday, February 3rd, 2013Very mixed feelings about going home as I’ve had a wonderful time here! It was Groundhog day here yesterday – if the groundhog sees it’s shadow Spring will come soon but if no shadow the winter will go on longer! We are going to watch the film this afternoon as I never saw it at the time. The ducks are coming and going and all the signs are there will be young ones in the Spring. The International Village next door to this apartment block is decorated already for the year of the snake – glad I’m going as can’t bear the things! It is very near China town of course and there are a lot of Chinese people living here. In fact in the apartment block there is no floor 4 as this is an unlucky number so to get to our floor (6) we go 1,2,3,5, 6! Love these quirky little things about this place! I will upload pictures when I get back as I didn’t have Jane’s computer last week when Jane went to Victoria. May have time tomorrow to do a few tomorrow – leave here at 5pm, flight 8.30pm, I land in Heathrow at 1.40pm Tuesday and meet Josh, my nephew, with a few bits and pieces, then to Manchester where I land at 5.45pm. Home!
