Voyage from Vancouver

Many of you may know that I am not a real “public emoter”.  Is that even a word?  Don’t know, but you get the idea.  But I was moved to tears as I stood on the deck of this magnificent cruise ship, with my sister, leaving the incredible port of Vancouver and knowing that I was taking a voyage to honor Frimit.  Mom also took this cruise and she would be thrilled to know that I was taking my dream trip with my sister.  It would only have been more perfect if Ellen could have been with us.  Alas, we were on our way from the top bridge of the ship looking at what I have to say must be one of the most beautiful ports around.  The sails on the building are part of the Vancouver convention center.  The buildings near the port have an amazing symetry of design.  That’s something I haven’t seen since I traveled in Jerusalem.  I would say this city is ready to host the Olympics in February of 2010.
