The Twins!

Here in Vancouver today. Some haze from the fires around the BC area. Should be a temperate 73 degrees today.

So, to get to the meat of the post. We went for an iced coffee in the Gastown District and on the way back we were amazed to see 2, count em... 2 sets of conjoined twins on a tour bus. They were stopped and we got a couple of quick photos!

Note the first set I believe is Lori and Dori (Dori prefers to be called George). They have been in a number of documentaries over the years.



Not sure who these little ones are but, it looks like they may not be able to be separated as well. Unlike Bill Frist, I am not a Doctor in a position to make the call.


Here is a shot of the sunset from last night with goat...


Without Goat....

Holy Crab Batman!

Downtown or bust for the two of us. Had some estate planning business to attend to and we decided we had to hit our favorite Dungeness crab joint. And yes, that would be Jake's.

They served us up some awesome Kumamoto oysters (hit the link to read up on how this delectable oyster treat ended up on the west coast) and the BEST crab leg cocktail (just the fat part of the legs please).

To wash it down, we had an excellent Daedalus Pinot Noir.

Joe the crab seen below is not a permanent fixture but, a St. Patrick's Day annual visitor.


Important Factoid (from wikipedia):

The safest place to hold the Dungeness crab is its back. Although the hind part of the crab is commonly used to pick up the crab, their claws can sometimes reach the holder's hand.



Here is a tribute to Broadway street downtown.


And for the close, we shot another pretty cool sunset from our bedroom window.
