Remain Calm

1930 Cord L29

There will not be four days of vintage car pics. Unlike the Wooden Boat Festival the SteamWorks' (restaurant/brewpub) Concourse d'Elegance is only one day

If you'd like to see photos of some of the cars on display you can have a peak at the album.

Sister Cities

I dropped the ball. I had heard about theme days but I didn't investigate closely. I'll try to do better next month.

Vancouver has 5 sister cities: 

Los Angeles, been there, lots.
Edinburgh, been there, once.
Guangzhou (formerly Canton), been there, once.
Odessa, never been there, but I sailed on the MV Odessa (Ukranian/Russian crew) twice.
Yokohama, never been to Japan.

A list of classy cities to be sure but I find the fact that Vancouver has so many sister cities slightly disconcerting. 

Eric says Paris only has one sister city and no one in Paris knows which city it is.
