Pt. Roberts

Ever heard of Pt. Roberts? Neither had we. Until some DC friends up and left to live there. It's right near Vancouver, BC (although it's US owned). Large marina, one stop light, 4 gas stations. Lovely little place! There's a terrific little restaurant with a wonderful italian seafood stew. A bit lonely in Feb, but I've heard summer is quite the opposite with all the boaters in town. The one road into Vancouver was easy to navigate (although I'm sure traffic will be very different in July!).

Granville Island was a treat. Go to the upstairs, outdoor bar at the large seafood restaurant and get a bloody mary for a late afternoon treat. Glad we have friends there, cause we'll be back!

Whistler & Vancouver, BC

wow -it's been a while. but the long spell between trips was worth it, because we were making great plans for 2005. Feb: Whistler and Vancouver, June: Prague & Eastern Europe, Fall: caribbean?  - ah the joy. What would life be without travel. Anyway, in Feb we rented a condo at Whistler with a bunch of friends. Was fabulous! Not much snow, but I still thought the skiing was great. After a few days there, we traveled back to the Vancouver area - Pt.Roberts to be specific. Will add those pics as a separate entry.
