The afternoon after the hike we headed off to my old friend Alex's condo in Richmond. All the guys from when we lived in our first apartment together were present- Colin(a different Colin), Brent and Al- also Mike Ko came by- it was pretty cool to see all the old gang.
Sadly the only 2 pictures I took were this one of the view from his pad and the first picture of the plant on his patio. It was a fantastic evening all the same.
The next afternoon we took the little guy and his new buddy- the bunny (courtesy of his grandma) out to have lunch with grandma one more time- as our trip was drawing to a close the next day.
We went out to one of my Vancouver favorites for a burgers (though it is also not gourmet by any means)- White Spot. I am not sure where the name came from- I always envisioned some racist beginnings- but the burgers are delicious and the prices aren't too high (though they have risen...). My mother was very happy to have had the chance to meet Ken and see us and it was a great chance to introduce Ken to her. Though he won't carry the memory- we do have photographic evidence to remind him- and of course it was important that his grandma have a chance to meet her Japanese grandson. Thanks for the great times, your hospitality and your gifts (including a set of napkins that she sewed up for us) Mom!
