Stayed on the North Shore today but there has been plenty going on! In the morning we all took the new puppy Sakura for a walk in the woods - just up the road. That's the good thing about North Vancouver: you don't have to go far to be in the woods!
After lunch and ice cream at Brazza's Sara and I went to hear a free concert featuring African-Canadian musicians in the plaza, part of the North Shore Jazz series.

When we got back from the concert and wandering around Lonsdale, the annual block party was just beginning on the block where we were staying! A whole block of the street was blocked off to traffic, with a big shelter set up to provide shade over the food and drinks, a band playing, and an inflatable bouncy castle for the kids. The block party is a great idea, allowing everyone to get to know their neighbours better and have some fun together. This year's party had a Hawaiian theme, and luckily, unlike last year when it rained and everyone had to huddle inside the refreshments tent, the sun was shining. And so a good time was had by all!
