Here is a better view of our seaplane…

We are waiting to board our sightseeing tour on Harbour Air’s seaplane for an aerial look at Vancouver and environs.

Hi friends – what better than to have a Danish while in Denmark? Here is lovely Hannah, the American tourist enjoying a cheese and almond. Yum!

We are wandering about in Copenhagen and stopped at a little old cafe – one guy working all eight seats at a single table.
