April 2002
We have been fairly busy since our last update, but only at the weekends due to Bryan’s work commitment! Tania went for her first skiing lesson on Cypress Mountain (half an hour away) and really enjoyed herself, although her knees didn’t share her enthusiasm. It took a while for her to realise that falling on the snow wouldn’t hurt; once grasped there was no stopping her! There is Canucks fever in Vancouver at the moment, as the ice hockey team has made it into the NHL Playoffs. We were fortunate to go and see a game just before this happened as tickets are now like gold dust; the 18,000 capacity stadium sold out in 17 minutes for their first playoff against Detroit. We found the atmosphere very different from anything we have experienced before, as the match had lots of breaks with entertainment - a real family show. We were pleased as they beat the Coyotes and therefore the crowd was buzzing. ‘Go Canucks, Go!’ Tania has kept herself busy during the week with swimming, reading (mainly driving manuals!) and visits to some of the local attractions like Science World - a smaller version of the Millennium Dome/London Science Museum. Last Wednesday we had to take our driving test…..we are pleased to say that we both passed and are now awaiting our snazzy B.C. driver’s license, complete with picture of us after passing the test…. grinning madly!
