We took in the Dragon Boat Race at False Creek. We think this is Ros' Hamber Secondary's team winning a heat.
In Vancouver, Frederick Kabendwe came to visit, to attend the Vancouver World Peace Forum. We billeted him for part of the time.
And we visited the home of Ken and Sandi Melchin, her boyfriend Nick's parents.
We went to the Cirque du Soleil, which was a lot of fun. Couldn't take picture inside.
Then I took the train to Ottawa to visit Naomi.
Toronto at night from the window of our hotel, the Ramada on Jarvis.
We visited the Toronto Islands. Here's a picture of the city from the ferry to the islands.

More digital pictures at the end of the evening. Russell, Jane, Christ, Graham, Alix, with Sandra taking the photo. A great evening.
Chris Kellett was in town from Calgary.
Several there tried on Ros' Kanga boots.
Ros, Jane, David, and Margery under the umbrella... it was a very nice evening.

Then went home for a party.
A few days later we went to the Vaisaiki parade along Main Street.
