Happy Birthday, Ed

Guess who arrived in Vancouver ?


It was Ed on his cross country tour from Toronto on  his trusty BMW R1200RT


He had been in Duncan visiting friends for the past week or so


and now he was here for a day or two before he heads home


I moved my bike forward to make a bit more room .   Because we are in the middle of a heat wave we


decided to park our bikes and his is now safely tucked away and on a battery tender


After spending some time freshening up we hopped into the car for a quick spin


and ended up at Aberdeen Centre, one of our largest Asian malls in Richmond .  Shortly we arrived at our


dinner destination for AYCE:  All You Can Eat BBQ Dinner buffet at the River Rock Casino  which is on the banks of the Fraser River.   I assembled a group of close friends to help him celebrate his birthday


which is today,  July 13th  (a few years ago)  .   We all sang him a "Happy Birthday to you .  .  . "  I snagged a cup cake from the dessert table and I asked a waiter for ONE Candle and a match

Happy Birthday to you ED, and many more . . .

    What a great way to celebrate a birthday - with new friends. Happy (belated) birthday Ed.

      what luck to find out that our birthdays were only days apart. I didn't wish to eat alone so I invited my close friends

    Being a great host, Bob. As usual. I am sure that Ed appreciates it.

      It's hard to cram a lifetime into two days but we are working on it. We need some time to relax and do nothing too.

    Happy Birthday Ed! I am sorry we didn't connect while you were on the Island. My life is very chaotic right now. Bob is an awesome host and knows all the good places to eat :)

      Too bad you didn't get a chance to ride up to Duncan to meet Ed. By Sunday he was already on his way to Vancouver. On his July 13th birthday, we ate your share too

    "... one of our largest Asian malls ..."

    What is an "asian mall"?

      Has to be seen to be understood. Cheaper than flying to Asia for sure. Within Ural cruising range.

      Richard:

      Richmond is the Hong Kong of North America. 98% or more are Asians. You would have to come here to see it. We have several Asian malls here.
