The last few days in Vancouver were bittersweet ---- great sights and hikes but no sign of the early spring and cherry blossoms. Snow returned to the upper levels but there were dandelions down below! One interesting sight was the Solo, a made-in-Vancouver 3-wheeler electric car for one. It's the future of urban delivery services...
On the last Sunday, joined our fellow sun-soakers for the hike around Lighthouse Point. Just a bus ride from downtown but it's an overwhelming area of never-logged old-growth giant cedars. Forest bathing but with views of the skyline!
Apprehensive about the flight home but fortunately we were not MAX-ed out. Five hours to marvel at this beautiful diverse country.
A quick trip to The View and no early spring there either. Despite heavy rains and some warm days, the snow and ice are still deep. Easy to spot wild footprints --- oh deer!
So we're staying in the city for a while yet. Thick ice has trapped the recycle bins. A thick branch has cracked off in a storm, snagged on two decks and utility cables. It's bigger than it looks, so look out below. But it's great to be home again; all the cravings of the last months are being looked after. Happy St. Pat-Rick Day!
