We loved Hornby, but finally left. Knowing our island time was coming to an end, we sprinted to Victoria for our last night and also visited the Tall Ships Festival. Morgane was very impressed by the boats. She insisted on trying out every one of the top bunks. She also went to pirate school and charmed everyone as the cutest pirate EVER!
We're back in Vancouver and summer has hit hard. Yesterday was at least 30 degrees, but we spent the whole day at Kits Beach, right until sunset. In the pool, by the ocean, Morgane and I were even cold! We ran into a couple of old friends and colleagues from ten years (eek!) ago at Coast Mountain Sports in Vancouver. They came to the beach, too, along with their friends and a little girl named Sierra who happened to share Morgane's birthday (just one year apart) and she also had the same hat, shoes and water bottle as Morgane.
We ate with Anthony on a terrace near the beach. He and Ghis had basil pizza that unfortunately had no basil on it. Anthony and I had good drinks with mint and lime and rum - what is that called again? All the while, we watched people on a rooftop terrace across the street because they were having fun dangling little toy spiders on very long strings and making people who happened to be walking by jump and scream.
Tuesday is Canada Day and there will be lots of celebrations around here. Tomorrow... who knows? But I do want to get back on a trampoline!
