When we only were three wwoofers, we couldn’t really get a day off. It would have been too tough to do everything with just two people. So instead, Diane decided to give us a treat. She had us start working earlier, and when we were done with lunch we all packed ourselves inte Dianes big car and went on a roadtrip. Destination: Vancouver.
It was a really rainy day, so the trip mostly consisted of Diane driving around, showing us different parts of the city through the car windows, and us getting out for quick glances of the view at a few special places. Mostly, she showed us the different houses where she has lived in the city – and that turned out to be a really nice tour. Diane has lived in many different areas of Vancouver, and we got to see parts of the city that aren’t on the beaten tourist track.

In a park, the flowerbeds were full of yellow and blue and pink and purple and red hyasinths. The smell was divine. Why don’t we plant hyasinths in our parks in Sweden?
In the harbour, we saw this ship fully loaded with cars. It looked almost scary, all those cars, all that metal, on that little boat. But hopefully they were going to recycle it, and not just dump it into the Pacific.
Our treat ended with Diane buying Chinese take-out for us in a restaurant and bringing it back to the farm. The food was amazing. We had a great day, despite the rain.
