Blogs from Kitsilano, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, North America

Bonjour à tous, 22h30 heure, j'arrive, j'arrive l'aéroport, où je viens de déposer, mes compagnons non seulement de voyage, mais avant tout de boisson, et de table. J'espère qu'ils sont bien dans l'avion, si non mon estomac va demander grâce. Encore hier au soir, avec les jeunes, un bon moment bien plaisant. Mais que Lyne et Marc le frère de Pier ont bien élevé leurs enfants. La compagnie de ces jeunes gens, que du plaisir. Sur la photo vous ne verrez, la petite dernière Geneviève, qui est partie après le mariage de son frère, pour un meeting d'athlétisme à Londres, et repart dans quelques jour pour Rio aux JO. Elle pratique la course à pied en demi fond. 2 ou 3000m, et d'autres disciplines, que je n'ai pas en tête. Si vous voyez ce type d'épreuve ... read more

W ramach zwiedzania dzielnicy Kitsilano i korzystając z chwili przerwy w deszczu, postanowiliśmy odwiedzić tamtejszy plac zabaw, który okazał się być jednym z tych placów zabaw z najlepszą lokalizacją na świecie - na samej plaży. Dopiero w następnym rzędzie są wille za 5 milionów dolarów, po amerykańsku sajdingowo-papierowo-karpetowe, ale za to z widokiem, który pewnie stanowi 9/10 ich ceny. Choć wieje i przepaduje, lokalne dzieci biegają całkiem roznegliżowane: małaEm prezentuje zimową kurtkę, parę warstw pod spodem, czapkę, szalik, a ja nadal nie jestem pewna, czy jest jej ciepło. Mnie nie jest. Tutejsi mają zazwyczaj leggingsy, koszulkę i może bluzę. Dziś widziałam chyba zwycięzcę - małaEm nadal w zimowym komplecie, a kobieta niesie w nosidle niemowlę - może 2-4 miesięczne, w bodziaku z krótkim rękawem i krótkimi nogawkami. Bez skarpet. Na szczescie się ciut zreflektowała i wróciła ... read more

Today is our anniversary and we went to church this morning (however we prob won't go back to that particular one) then we went to Granville Island which is man made and has markets open every day! To all the cheese lovers we had unpasturised french soft goats cheese, a mini baguette and a nice unpasturised french blue cow cheese from the markets - it is legal to sell it here as long as it has been aged for 60 days!!! We know you are all very jealous - amazing tasting cheese!! Oh and we also had Duck Prosciutto! We then had lunch/dinner at a resturant on the island called the Sandbar http://www.vancouverdine.com/theSandbar0experience.aspx - we were on the balcony which has heated floors, gas heaters from the ceilings and gas fire places and blankets!!!! We had ... read more

Some Random Acts Of Kindness That I Experienced (in chronological order) Some people just simply showed kindness, some saved me a few dollars, some saved me a little grief and some saved me a lot of grief and some a little of all of the above. Either way in recognition they deserve a page on my blog. Hitch Hiking – All the people that drove me a little further then their stop Tobermory – The cyclists that approached me and showed me a camping spot; saving me a long night at a picnic table Northern Ontario – The native that gave me shelter in his trailer so I could get out of the rain Sault Ste. Marie – The older couple that gave me a lift back to the Grey Hound Bus stop Grande Prairie – ... read more
