It was a FANTASTIC week together with old childhood friends! I couldn't have asked for a better reunion. Such a perfect mix of people. I would have loved Katie and Amer there (and a few others) but it was just delightful that the six of us could get together -
Mary, Matt, Sue, Jeff and Sharif.
We started out with a Raclette dinner:
Sightseeing tour around Vancouver and Stanley Island:
Mary is the BEST hostess in her home, we have always shared
a love for baking/cooking/entertaining:
I've been to Vancouver before (winter time with Amer) but the warmer
weather made Vancouver just a beautiful and stunning city:
My favorite moments were hanging out drinking tea, going over old photos, and looking up where others have ended up by finding them on FB. I was totally in my element!
We laughed so much....we're totally planning on doing this again soon.

I can now understand why Mary and her family felt so comfortable when they moved to Switzerland - the beauty is very similar. We went on a gorgeous hike:
It's always all about food when I am with my Ecolint friends:
Mary and I met when we were 13 and have always remained close. I loved spending time with her French husband Renald who is so cool and chill, and I am so excited that she'll be having her first baby next month!
Looks like a great trip with the Ecolint friends. I love the backdrop on the picture from your hike--it looks like Switzerland! Now I want to go to Vancouver! Nothing is better than catching up with old friends because you feel so comfortable and relaxed.
