Woke up this morning, grabbed some fruit then walked to Stanley Park. I wanted to take a ride on the wagon pulled by draft horses through the park. While waiting I noticed a barefoot woman carrying a dashing pair of lovely red western boots in her arm pit. When she went over to her partner on a picnic table I realised they might be taking the Olivia cruise. Sure enough. We exchanged greetings and eventually stories and I ended up with their invitation to visit them while in San Francisco and encouragement once again to remain open to this meeting at the docks.

We were told some amazing facts by the woman teamster and the one that startled me the most was the fact there is 45,000 people living in one square mile in downtown Vancouver!! They are literally on top of each other. Vancouver for me is a great place to visit but give me the wide open prairies any day.
I headed off to Horseshoe Bay terminal by city bus- the one which stops at every stop. Very scenic. I met Kathy and we had a wonderful lunch in a quiet corner of a seafood restaurant. We talked non stop about our lives from noon until 7 pm about our partners Lee and Judy and about our lives as widows. It was so affirming. I look forward to continuing this friendship.
