Sunday Notes

Went into MacLeods books, right on the corner, it felt like walking into an episode of hoarders with books, stacks and stacks of glorious books.  I bought a book on Van Gogh, just to support the place. Magical.

Lat night I wanted some night shots of North Vancouver from the harbor.  It was windy and freezing, but I sat there as the sun set and toughed it out.  On my way back I found a cute little art Gallery and discovered the Canadian artist Shirley Thompson.  She has passed away, but her painting are incredible.  I found this image online, but seeing it in person takes your breath away.

There is a lot of women's curling on Canadian television, reason enough to move here.

Took the 15 minute ferry ride over to North Vancouver.  Not much there except a cute little mall with seafood and trinkets and of course three Starbucks.  It was fun riding the ferry.

They are filming an episode of Alcatraz a block over from my hotel. I talked to film crew guy and they use Vancouver because parts of it look like San Francisco.
