Finally out West - part 2

Dear daughter arrived solo

(At least she looked back and waved to her parent this time)

First, she had to learn the rules of the waters

Then we headed for the islands

Our amazing friends - the clang-clang aunties - and their gorgeous, new home on Hornby

Sophie visited the cousins on Vancouver island

Seeing goats

and frogs

and eating ice cream!

Meanwhile, Jeet and Jo did a little retailing (I managed to keep the plastic in my wallet)

Then it was time to see the rest of the Fikri-Chapmans!

And some work colleagues (imagine!)

Sophie checked out UBC...

On what was supposed to be our last day, the ever-wonderful Jeet took us out for some exploring and fun (ending up at Maiwa where the plastic did come out...)

On our bonus day, Mark & Mary fed & hugged us again
