My apologies to Tom and Ginny for not posting this trip in December 2019.  
Well!  We won't miss out!  Here it is . . . a delightful Thanksgiving excursion to Vancouver in 2019.

THE WESTOVERS THANKSGIVING TRIP TO VANCOUVER

​We just returned from Vancouver for a quick trip during Thanksgiving.  Over the years, we have traveled there by car and train but with the drive being more problematic due, it part, the increased boarder security and the train ride although scenic is just too long.

Enjoy the weather, stay warm and be careful out there.

​A highlight of our brief visit was shopping for the "organic gemstone", Ammolite. https://www.gemsociety.org/article/ammolite-jewelry-gem-information/ On the enclosed picture, Ginny and I are standing in front of what is claimed to be (one of) the largest fossilized Ammonite (the animal from which the gem originates) in existence.

Recently there has been seaplane service between the downtown areas of Seattle and Vancouver. It takes 45 minutes and you have what amounts to your own customs agent when you arrive.
