I remember meeting a couple from Manchester U.K. back in 1987 while in France. We became casual friends and I invited them to Vancouver. We kept in touch by mail over the next two years where again I would invite them to visit. We met up again in France afte that two years and once again invited them. This is when they decided to break it to me that they would likely never visit since "Alan and I really don't like to rough it." OMG. I remember smiling and saying "you think I live in a cabin by a lake with a red canoe going by." I sent them a photo book on Vancouver. They came the next year during summer and loved it. Were surprised that Canada could be like this. I did meet a dutchman once also in France when learning I was from Canada wanted to show me what a nice mens store was like,since in his mind I must use trading posts. Ha. A lot has changed since then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
