Monday December 20 - Safely in Vancouver



Neither Ray nor I slept much last night and we were both awake, lying in bed, and listening to our IPods early morning. When we left the motel for breakfast we realized that Hope is nestled at the base of the mountains. Everywhere you look there are mountains all around you....as you can see from the two pictures of Hope. It was -2.5C and the owner of the motel was complaining about the "frost". Yesterday morning when we left Golden it was about -20C! We weren't complaining. We had about an hour and a half's drive down through the mountains, along the banks of the Fraser River into Vancouver. There was a slight drizzle when we arrived and the temperature on the car read "10C" .....(note, that is PLUS!). We arrived at 12:30. We were all very excited to be together again.

We went out for lunch and it all felt so familiar to be here again. Nice and warm, not a drop of snow! So, now we begin our stay in Vancouver. I won't promise to write something every day, but I will certainly update you on the blog as to what we are doing. Thanks for following along and hope you enjoyed the journey.
