At first I thought this was the year the house was built, but nope, it's just the address.

Ceilidh
Friday 30 March 2012
Ryan and I went to a Scottish ceilidh (pron: kay-lee) tonight. It's basically like a Scottish hoe-down, where they teach you the basic moves and then call out the dance as you dance it. Some dances are in pairs, some are in groups, and some are with everyone, like the one shown here.Tons of fun - we're definitely going back.

The herons return
Monday 26 March 2012
At the end of our street you can find the world's largest Great Blue Heronry. (Yes, that's a word.) They're just starting to build their nests (by the dozens) and mate. Let me tell you, that is not a good place to park under just now.

Ryan and I headed over to Granville island today to start preparing for this fall's photo scavenger hunt. Can you believe that sky?

Suckers
Friday 23 March 2012
Ryan and I finally went to the Vancouver aquarium today, something we've been long wanting to do. Since we both have student cards right now, and Ryan had the day off, and it was gorgeous and sunny, it was a perfect day. We had a great time, and definitely got our money's worth.

Rioters
Thursday 22 March 2012
At my school. It's a poster with photos of the people who participated in last year's hockey riot. It's really nice to see that they're still looking for these people who embarrassed our wonderful city.

The last days of snow
Monday 19 March 2012
Some days the mountains are just so crisp and close, I feel like we could walk up there in a few hours.

We didn't stay out for very long, but Ryan and I did have a bit of St. Patrick's day beer with the gang.

Christine

This is my name is Arabic, I guess. One of my fellow English teachers at Inland Refugee Society is originally from Saudi Arabia, and was doing everyone's name at break-time today. It's beautiful, isn't it? (And now I'm hoping that I haven't posted the photo upside down or something!)

En francais
Monday 12 March 2012
This was kinda neat - my camera came with a whole bunch of little French stickers. Now, some of them are clearly supposed to go over the English words on the camera, so if you are a French speaker you can have the outside of your camera in French. But there are way more stickers than there are words or even space on the camera. What on earth are you supposed to do with all those other stickers?
