Saturday hike.......

Yesterday was a strange weather day.  When we woke up, the sun was shining and it was beautiful.  When I checked the forecast though, it said rain (what a surprise in Vancouver!).  We drove to Granville Island and wandered around and enjoyed lunch at Sammy J. Peppers.  Then we headed to a movie ( The Stone of Destiny - good flick!).  When we came out of the movie, it was hailing.  Not the hard, icy hail that hurts when it hits, this was more like being pelted with dippin' dots, the no-flavor kind.  It finally let up and we finished with a windy walk through part of Stanley Park.  In the picture, we live up behind my head, on the left, among those houses going up the hillside.  We even had enough time left in the day to watch the incredibly long "Patton".  Collin is into WWII so we've been watching all the classics.  It's amazing what you can fit into your day if you don't have to go to a soccer game.
