It has been a year since I have been able to post this, but these folks are lovely. They are kind and generous and I felt safe the entire time. It might be a while before I can visit Vancouver again, but when I do I will stop by and say "Hi". Both of them extended hospitality to me when they had no obligation to do so. Thank you for my wonderful visit. I hope you are both well.

Even though we were approaching the day of flight, we were in great trouble as we had no place to stay. If you ask me where you really can only accept two people, you can be accepted, and we were able to travel in Vancouver. That was a really big help. It helped me a lot during my stay and it was a pleasant trip. It was good to stay with Phil and mershid,
