Vancouver

We have just been looking at Javi and Ingas pictures of Vancouver which they managed to visit whilst they were delivering near Delta.
Once again they (I am not sure who takes all the pictures anymore, LOL) have got some great shots , which are worthy of a travel brochure.
They have both been in Canada trucking in 2008, where they had not such a good experience with the company they were with, so we hope they are enjoying it better with the present company.

Whilst we were in Vancouver the other week we managed to take some pictures of the house Micks Great Uncle built around 1911 when he emigrated there, and the lady who owns it now was kind enough to invite us in for a tour and a cup of tea.

This was the house in the early days ...




This is now....

The owner, Lorraine, showed us around the house, which was really spooky considering that Micks Grandmother and grandfather had walked through the same rooms many years before.

He still has many relatives in Vancouver who he hasn't met, but he keeps in touch with his cousin Betty who lives with her husband, Don on Vancouver Island.
