The day before surgery

We received word this morning that John's surgery is scheduled for noon tomorrow. 
Today is a day of relaxation, people watching from our favourite coffee shops 
and strolls through the West End. 

Hirschfield House, built in 1910, is one of several older homes
to have survived the ongoing thirst for destruction and reconstruction.

 The Kensington, built in 1912, was once home to our dear friends.
Overlooking English Bay, it houses treasured apartments.


Most of the small corner groceries have disappeared from Vancouver's landscape.
This one, across from Lord Roberts Elementary School, is a favourite stop
for students from the school and neighbouring apartments.

We couldn't finish our West End tour without a visit
to The Laughing Men sculptures.
This one is telling John "Don't worry, be happy"!
