Scott was at a convention. I was enjoying Vancouver for a weekend. It was grey but the weather was milder than Calgary’s.
Our room in the Pan Pacific over looked the harbour.
Dinner at Bistro Sakana with the Millers.
Friday, while Scott was in his conference, I went to Burnaby on the skytrain to see the Japanese Canadian heritage museum, Nikkei Museum.
Nice gardens outside the museum.

Walked off the sushi and sake around Stanley Park and English Bay:
Sunday morning was spent watching English premiership match between Manchester United and Arsenal. Scott’s team, Arsenal lost.
Went for lunch at Joe Fortes where we had hoped to have Dungeness crab but they didn’t have any. Sunday’s disappointments were adding up.
But we enjoyed some white wine and king crab.
Then it was back to Calgary and snow.
