Paris, British Columbia

On my way to work this morning. Clouds and rain.
As most people reading this blog know, my brother lived in Vancouver for the past eight years before finally packing up and moving to London, Ontario for law school this past summer. He used to always complain about the rain in Vancouver and how everyday brought more clouds and rain.
Welcome to Paris, British Columbia. For the past week we have had rain everyday. Not all day, just everyday. In chatting with my students, this is pretty typical for Paris in November. The sun is also constantly hidden by clouds. Although the temperatures have been fairly nice with highs of 13 to 15 degrees most days and lows between 7 and 9 degrees at night, the constant cloud and rain almost make me yearn for a good cold, clear, Alberta winter day...almost.
Anyway, I can't really complain that much as for the most part it is really nice here, but the rain could let up anytime.

On my way home, the clouds parted and we got a few minutes of sunshine.

I would trade places with you in a heart beat so stop complaining David, You are in Paris!!!!
It has rained here all week as well and on top of that Denise had snow on Thursday.
Of course this did not stop Brian from driving to Salmon Arm to go fishing with his brother David. Hope they catch lots of fish.
Kimberley and Joe went to a restaurant in Vancouver called Le Crocodile last night. Quite a coincidence.
Have fun and thanks for the updates.
Love then.

Stop with the complaining. I'd trade places with you any time David. It has been rainining off and on all week in the Okanagan and Denise had snow on Thursday. This does not stop Brian from driving to Salmon Arm to go fishing with his brother David. Know they will have a blast.
