Here we are at Margot and Joel's place in West Vancouver. We just came back from lunch at Milestones. We arrived in Vancouver yesterday ata bout 4:00PM. We stopped in to see Fort Langly on the way. That was where Amable Hogue went in 1828 as a favoured middle paddler for Governor George Simpson and his canoe. They left on their trip in July and arrived in Fort Langly three months later. I am not sure of their route thru the mountains but part of it was down the Fraser River. There is a lot of history at the Fort. It was there that Governor Douglas made British Columbia a province. In fact some of the BC parliament meets there once a year in the big house. I will send pictures and some interesting passages form the Fort Langley Diary when I get back to Wpg. Ain't history great!
Last night we went over to meet Margot at the Kettle of Fish. Margot was managing the retaurant last night and she treated us to a great dinner...I had steak and lobster.mmmmmmm...and Catherine had salmon. Of course as parents of the manager we had the best table in the house heehee.
Anyhow, better go and put in some sight-seeing before we go to dinner. later, kleep dawn blooging.
