Beach day

Finally managed to sneak in a beach day......how is it we are too busy to go to the beach.....! Mix of cloud and sun and finally cooled off so much we headed home, but not before nice long walks on the beach, seeing an eagle ray just 5 feet offshore, having a margarita at the Xchel beach bar, and enjoying the company of winged and furry friends.


Since we ate our lunch on the beach, we attracted this hopeful crowd of seagulls.




And a number of little sandpipers got in on the action.




What would an afternoon at the beach be without a friendly dog.....this one owned, healthy and happy!

Olympics, 2010

During the day, we watched the final trek of the Olympic Torch through Vancouver on our computer, courtesy of CTV. Great to see all the places we know in Van go by and to see the happy faces welcoming the torch.

Miki got the computer hooked up to the TV later on, so we were able to watch the opening ceremonies on the bigger screen. Go Canada!

We had agreed to have a margarita for a number of people, including many friends who are working at the Games, so here's to all the hard working folks who will put in very long days for the next 5 weeks!



Here comes our Canadian team - we wish them well!
