\"\"<\/a>Met my friend Ritchie this morning (we’ve been friends since we were teens) and he accompanied me and the little gals to China Town. China Town Vancouver is huge and fascinating. It is an amazing place to explore. Dr. Sun Yat<\/span>-sen Garden is on the “One Hundred things to see before you die” list–world wide!<\/p>\n

Anyway, it was a relaxing fun morning. Then we did a little shopping in China Town. The girls and I were beyond thrilled to find a little shop that carried “My Neighbor Totoro<\/span>” paraphernalia<\/span>. We couldn’t resist purchasing wallets and the girls purse\/bags. The merchandise<\/span> was over priced but since it is an all time favourite movie of ours, we couldn’t resist. KW would love the place–you can even get Totoro<\/span> stuffies<\/span>!\u00a0<\/div>\n
Tonight my 3 little wee girls and I will meet my cousins Caro and Garry at Transcontinental for dessert.\u00a0<\/div>\n
So far, a really fun trip! Last night we decided<\/span> to shop and hit the hotel pool and hot tub–it’s a roof top outdoors variety. Sunny skies this afternoon.\u00a0<\/div>\n
What is it about the “down and outs” of Vancouver? Truly, they appear so much more down and out than those in nearly any other<\/span> N. American city. Perhaps Vancouver does have one of the worst drug problems in N. America.<\/p>\n

–the room in between the doors is supposed to bring ultimate tranquility<\/span>. And it did–the chi, or energy was so peaceful.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
