Papa takes a Winter Olympic pause - from blogging - Vancouver memories

First time I did visit Vancouver BC, was back in 1995.

My daughter, Ingelin and papa, went up north from Portland, Oregon, USA.

We at that time stayed with my Mothers Cousin, Marie (born 1899), and asked her for permission to rent a Car and go up to Vancouver BC, for a 2 two Days trip. We were allowed.

Here is Ingelin. In Portland, OR, back in the mid 1990-ies (repro from a diapositive/slide)

But I think you might like to see some pictures we took back in 2007 - in Vancouver, British Colombia, on the West Coast of Canada.

This the view from Canada Place in Vancouver. In the Hills back here, it's eastbond, the Olympic Ski Competions are now to take place.

 Vancouver is a green city. Here from the path down to Wreck Beach

 Vancouver is also a Blue City. In many ways, very alike Oslo in Norway. Blue and Green City.

 Vancouver is also a City for Sea Food lovers. Like here at Granville Island

 You, know we Norwegians are pretty crazy about Winter Sports.  We are born that way.

Are Papa happy with the performence by his fellow Norwegians so far?

ha-ha, You see papa, here at Wreck Beack in Vancouver. What a dissaster.

 

Our next Event will be the Naming Day for Metin Leander , which will take place on Saturday, February 27. 2010. I'll post as soon as possible. 

The Ceremony will take place in Oslo City Hall.

Do not forget: Participants of OsloBG will have the chance to meet the Mayor of Oslo.

Wheather report

If you read ET’s blog, you recall the flood in Vancouver and how ET and P strugled for clean water. Well, here in Norway, we are excperiences more or less the same wheater a couples of weeks later: South-Westh Norway: Up to 100 mm rain, flood, roofs blowing off, closed roads, mudslides, extraordinary mild for December to be: + 10C. Some exceptions though: Oslo. We live there. And we see the Sun today.
And have in mind: Going with RennyBA and Deedee to their Vacation Home last weekend; wheater is important when driving 350 km in darkness.
