Chris and I battled the rush hour traffic and construction slow downs on the Squamish highway for the sixth time this season to enjoy the winter environment of Diamond Head. His elderly Subaru Loyale did an admirable job of dealing with the slippery conditions up the parking lot and we skinned our way up to the Red Heather shelter once again. Interesting conversations with Australians working in Squamish and a fellow named Trevor who had done some remarkably steep skiing in various places in the world. After numerous cups of hot liquids Chris and I made our way up close to high point where this picture was taken. We deskinned and made our way down to the Tim Hortons for some more hot chocolate. Another good day in the mountains.

Gibson's Landing Cycle - Sunshine Coast
Location of Gibson's

| Randy quite likes his Bike Friday |
Randy Wheating generously hosted the Red Lobsters at the Wheating's new vacation property situated between the Langdale ferry landing and Gibson's Landing. Dave Dixon, Keith Akenhead, and Keith Rajala were able to make it. We were treated to barbecued steaks and a selection of good wines the first night and great weather for a cycle to Robert's Creek and Sechelt the following day.

We cycled an old paved road that hugged the coast until we had to walk our bikes for close to a kilometer along the beach! After a very short trail, we were on another road till we enjoyed the restaurant at Robert's Creek. The cinnamon buns and coffee were a popular choice. :-) We then cycled on to Sechelt. When we cycled the main highway back to Gibson's Landing, we enjoyed a late afternoon meal in one of the local pubs. Dave had to return home and the rest of us enjoyed a movie and a couple of "nightcaps". A very enjoyable weekend. Thanks Randy. Read Dave's account of our adventures at his blog site.

Lynn got finished with her work for SFU in early May, so we took off for Italy. We visited Rome, Sorrento, The Isle of Capri, took a short cruise down the Amalfi coast, visited Pompeii, enjoyed the delights of Orvietto and Siena, enjoyed a Brunello wine tour, hiked the Cinque Terre trail, saw the Last Supper in Milan, and finished off our trip in the magical place called Venice.
