Vancouver rocks!

You have to appreciate the significance of a "tea cozy" (left) which is not unusual in Canada to keep a tea pot warm! Isn't this darling?!

This scene greets you when you arrive at the international airport, showing the artistry and boat of the native Indians ("First Nations" peoples) who once lived and fished on the coast.


This downtown building is actually totally suspended from huge elastic bands (USA English: rubber band) attached to the center pole. It's an experimental architectural plan to withstand earthquakes.

English Bay-- what a view!

When I worked with collegians in Vancouver, I used to literally spend hours eating muffins & drinking coffee in this Student Center (the SUB) on the campus of the Univ. of British Columbia (UBC). Rich (below photo) directs the ministry at UBC called "Born for More" and we had a terrific visit together with Suzanne, who is a semester m. and graduated from seminary last year in Texas.
