Family in Town

Recently Mom, Popo and Uncle Ray were in town for the week over the Labour Day holiday. That's how it's spelled here in Canada. They use the Queen's English here you know. So far this year I've had 14 visitors. I didn't even realize until my uncle asked me. Mom said, "You know Michelle... you have contributed a lot to Vancouver's tourism." Somehow I've contributed to Vancouver's economy by giving friends and family a reason to come visit me. I should get some sort of tax incentive or even just a badge for being such a darn good tour guide. It's not hard convincing people why Vancouver is one of the top cities in the world to live in. Every time someone visits me, I'm reminded of how lucky I am to be living here. I've been exploring lots of new places in Vancouver this summer and there still remains a lot to be seen. Even though we didn't do any hiking because Popo would have a hard time with the rugged trails, we still spent a lot of time outdoors. I can now see why this city is so friendly to its senior citizens. Thanks to Sarah's walking cards, we found lots of great parks and neighborhoods to go visit including Whytecliff Park, VanDusen Botanical Gardens and Dundarave. Pics are posted in my gallery, but videos will have to wait for a rainy day.
