chitchat

E. and I rode the skytrain into Vancouver late yesterday afternoon to meet with my sis who is here from out of town on business.



After enjoying the view from her room in the Fairmont Waterfront while munching on an appetizer of fresh cherries,

we strolled down Cordova to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner.

On the way back I got a picture of the Gastown Steam Clock, at the tail end of its belch.

Later in the lobby of her hotel – which sports this gorgeous flower arrangement -- I spotted (the honorable) Peter MacKay, Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs – with someone (female). Hmmm. E. said it’s probably his executive assistant.
