Mostly shots from Dr. Sun's grden and gas town.

Steam Clock in gas town
Right outside the dojo, and the sight of a pretty fun street musician.

Gas Town
Very quaint part of the city. lots of shops, and if you spend too much money they give you a nice big bag to carry all your crap around in. I use mine for the grocery store now.

Dr. suns Gardens
This palce was so beautiful and peaceful.
|
|
This is the public side.
As it turned out I met up with some other HLWW folks. They had been there the day before and met up with Adrian. I swear I think I am the only person who left Vancouver without a picture with him.

Back in the garden.
In the formal side they had rooms set like they would have in a traditional home.
|
|
There were meditation rooms, sleeping rooms, and writing rooms.
yup, rooms. oh and one room had tea, and you could have some and it was hot, which mattered that day cuz it was cold.

Taken from the public side.
I think there was some competition between the 2 sides. When i asked how to get to the gazebo the formal folks seemed a little snooty about how that side was a different garden and not a traditional one.

How pretty is this?
Thanks to the mist and cold it was not at all crowded.
|
|
I really enjoyed the changing colors.
I do not get to see much of that these days.
|
|
Nuther nice fountain.
I also used some of the fountains as landmarks to find my way. This is where there was a fantastic Tai and sushi place. Not that i eat sushi but everything I had was great.

Out in the mountains
If you like to hike and hang out in nature, you have got to go to VC.

I have to write the story about this guy.(I did write the tale it can be found in the What's new!)
I think his name was Nic. he is a volunteer tour guide (that means making it up as he goes) and it was the death march from hell. We did stop occasionally to talk so he could talk about himself, and how we need to all stop drinking and run marathons. Carol and I eventually went AWOL.

As we headed off into the woods....
Totally unaware that we were being lead to an unmarked and unknown area at a breakneck pace with no time to really enjoy our surroundings.
|
|
Rail Yard and the city beyond.
Also used more than once on the show.
