Day 45 - Vancouver

We made it downtown early this morning after staying up late to watch the lunar eclipse. We had to get some new passport photos taken and then head to the Thailand Embassy to submit our visa applications. Though it says it will take two days on their website the lady working there said they’d be ready tomorrow morning so we’ll be able to make it back home a day early. We have a lot of stuff to sort out before we head back to Vancouver on Tuesday Sept. 4^th to fly to New Zealand so the extra day is much appreciated. The weather was great in Vancouver so we spent the day downtown doing some shopping and looking around. After dinner we went to my Uncle Fred and Aunt Linda’s place in Port Moody for a visit. On the way there we went to the house I grew up in, just a few blocks away from Uncle Fred’s. It looks a lot different now and all the trees my dad had planted when we were young are now quite big and hide the house from the street considerably so it was pretty difficult to even see it. Still it was a great trip down memory lane, and it will always surprise you to see how much smaller things are than you remember them.
