A TRIP TO THE CITY

"Every moment is a doorway to meaning, purpose and joy, 
the key is an unhurried mind". 
Eknth Easwaren
 
 
Sunday afternoon it was cold and sunny as we drove into Vancouver to the Gluten-Free Exhibition at the Van. Convention  Center. A ceaseless flow of traffic with cars all around us made driving a challenge, which dad was up for!
 
The view of the mountains was breathtaking.  Dad and I enjoy the drive and the sense of adventure.  We felt bad when we arrived only to find out it was sold out and there was an hour wait even if we coud get in.  Two big burley, but friendy men, informed us of this news.  Disappointed to left seeing others departing with bags full of goodies.

This is the view as we left to carry on our adventure.
 
 
We arrive at Prospect Point after nearly going over the Lion's Gate Bridge.
          Moving on. Taking our time. Gone our the days when speed means efficiency.

We end up at the Sylvia!
 
 
Beautiful drive home with the sun on the mountains! !  The next day it snows.
"Patience is one of the unsung virtues."
"Patience is the very heart of love."
I need to be more patient if I am going to become calmer, and I have many times each day to practice.

When I drove over the bridge to go to school on Saturday it was very beautiful out as well. A sold out gluten free convention? A sign of the times eh. Better drive in today, oh how I miss the rain. Sandra
