Vancouver in July

Jeff and I, along with 2 couples who are moving to Vancouver with us and 2 that are praying about it, had the opportunity to go to Vancouver for 5 days. It was incredible!!! The other 2 times I've been it's been the ususal rainy season (which is alot of the year) but this time it was sunny and warm every day. We got there on Thursday, met with a realtor and saw some of the sites downtown. Friday we prayer walked, met with one of our Vancouver friends who showed us the ropes on the public transportation. Saturday, we drove up to Whistler and saw some of the Olympic event spots, and then all had our own date nights. Sunday we went to a great church downtown, had the afternoon to shop and then had dinner and really our first service (at least that's what it turned out to be) after dinner at our hotel with the combined US/Vancouver teams. It was a tiring week, but incredible.

This is the stone man symbol for the Olympics. It is called an Inukshuk. The natives used to leave these in places where they had been, showing people where there had been people and provisions.
