Vancouver

The weather in Vancouver has been wonderful - sunny and warm. There has been a very nice breeze so it is not too hot. Peter's apartment is nice and cool. It actually gets cold at night if the windows are open. My mom has been sleeping well.

There are a couple of things that are out of the ordinary for my mom. Firstly, she has watched two movies. To illustrate how unusual it is, I will tell you the average number of movies she went to in a decade - two. She has done a lot more walking than usual and she enjoys it. She has walked to Chinatown (about 3.5 km. one way) to do grocery shopping. She has heard of English Bay many times and now she knows how to get there. Peter's apartment is only a block from Stanley Park. It will be a shame not to take advantage of it to go for a walk in the park. This is something she plans to do before coming home.

My mom's back is still troublesome. On good days, it does not bother her until the evening. There are days that she has to start lying down in the afternoon.
