Bowen Island




Hiking on Bowen

The Big 5 on Bowen Island


Five of us hiked Mt Gardner on Bowen Island and took the Big 5 along for the day (see my hat).

Bowen Island







A wonderful Sunday trip over to Bowen Island to hike Mt Gardner guided by our urban hiking guru David Adams.

On the trail we ran into David and Harry Crerar. As it happened we had just had a discussion about David and his challenge to the running community to bag the local peaks:

David congratulated us on bagging our first peak. He's up to 22 of 32 local peaks meeting the challenge criteria in a bit more than two months.

Liliana and Andrea




We had a wonderful visit with our wonderful friend Liliana and her daughter Andrea from Mexico City. Andrea is attending Queen Margarets where Diane and Lily met. We had a wonderful time together and continued this wonderful connection and friendship. We are sure Andrea will have a wonderful year at QMS and we hope to see her during the school-year.
