From Apple genius to the knee surgeon


What a day! We met another "Apple genius" this morning to solve the problem of connecting my digital camera to John's ipad. When I hooked up the connector, the ipad screen said "the connected USB device requires too much power". Of course the "genius" was able to solve the problem within about ten minutes. It was the camera, not me!!

Afterward, we decided to explore a different part of Vancouver between Cambie & Oak Streets and between 14th & 16th Avenues. In the process we discovered a great coffee shop...maybe the best. While sipping and munching we were serenaded by an unusual mix of Farsi music and old Dean Martin classics.


The Iranian owners were very friendly, coffee was excellent, comfortable seating and all of the baking is done onsite. Unfortunately it is a bit further than our usual walking range but we will return!

Back on the street we were thrilled to see the first cherry tree blossoms!


This afternoon we drove over to North Vancouver to see John's knee surgeon. We had some concerns about fluid retention in his left leg but the Doctor assured us that it appeared to be an effusion that was
nothing to worry about! It is not painful, just unusual...but this is John! When was he ever "usual"?


There are several "mosaic" cars driving around the streets of Vancouver. This one invited us to "tickle me"!...where?...under the hood, behind the rear bumper, inside the trunk???
