It was a fun day of gymnastics on horseback. Even Geoff got a chance to try (he learned to vault as a teenager in California, but that was quite a while ago!)

... after years of practice

Each Sunday at Trout Lake, a group from the neighbourhood get together for juggling… once the sun sets, they bring out the fire poi. Clara loves to go, but has not quite progressed to fire poi, herself

As there are foreign literary visitors in town, I thought I would start putting together a tour of the lower mainland that corresponds to the “legends” in E. Pauline Johnson’s 1911 collection, The Legends of Vancouver. It is late, and I am tired, ,but my friends are already here… so this is the first draft. My project for this summer is to visit all of the sites I can my self and write more, include links, and generally build an online guidebook for early-Canadian-literature buffs or prospective victims…

Now that we are home, and I remembered that I took these, I can post the Panda Videos!!!!

I took some lovely video, but can’t upload it from China; I will add it when I get home!
