It was only a matter of time that we found the ginormous Craft Beer Market for Happy Hour.

D was delighted to try a couple of craft beers that he wasn’t familiar with. Thank heavens many craft beer places also serve wines now. I enjoyed a robust merlot.

We noticed that just about everywhere that we visited in BC served truffle fries with parmesan. Of course, we had to try them everywhere to declare our favourite. These were pretty darn good!

Our Home Exchangers also recommended Gusto for a light supper. It was the real deal for chilled Orvieto Classico and ham, mushroom and burrata pizza! We first started drinking Orvieto Classico together when we were first married. Since we were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, it seemed fitting, to celebrate with this delicious white wine.

We loved watching the families picking up their daycare kids in the vacinity. Many of them came in for a quick treat or a light supper. We felt like we had been inaugurated into the community and toasted each other with amazingly gelato in a waffle cone of course.

Upon leaving the restaurant, we noticed the pinkish mountains to the north.

It was a sensational evening for a walk along the False Creek trail.

We were delighted with the view of BC Place which we knew were going to host this year’s Grey Cup Game. Little did we know at that time, that it would be a bittersweet game for us Winnipeggers..

Vancouver’s city planners inserted a little bit of green space along the trail so that you felt like you got to enjoy a bit of scenic privacy, right smack in the middle of a bustling city.

This was one of my favourite pics from our time on the creek.

The sun was setting on a especially wonderful night, but also on our time in Vancouver. We had wonderful times ahead but didn’t know so at that time.
