We left Saskatchewan (and Calgary) yesterday, in ice and snow.  Our planes had to be de-iced at both airports, so it is nice to be in much warmer Vancouver, even though it is raining.  The spring flowers, and cherry blossoms are out in force.

This morning we went to the Museum of Vancouver.  It’s about a 2.5 km walk from here, along False Creek, and it was nice to be outdoors without feeling cold.  We saw an interesting exhibit on the history of Vancouver.

My only problem with the display is that they call the 1970’s history.  It can’t be that long ago can it?  It seems pretty fresh in my memory!  There were a number of school groups in the museum, and they seemed to find this part of the museum fascinating, and were trying on all the hippie clothes.
