4 Points in Canada

Last weekend we went up to Canada for our first Canadian dog show.
It was great fun. A very small show, Kona did very well, brought home 4 of the 10 points needed for a Canadian Championship. We will go again for sure. We took the motorhome and Greg decided he didn't need to take his passport....or birth certificate. Mistake. The border guy going back to the U.S. was highly incensed that I had my passport and Greg had nothing...go figure. I was worried they would decide to "teach him a lesson" and search the motor home. They did not
We were up at Cloverdale, a suburb of Vancouver. The people were very nice. It was almost like stepping back in time of dog shows, sort of low tech and not too many people. Hardly any motorhomes, most that were there were quite old. It was fun, pretty cold, but fun.
We went to dinner on Saturday night with friends. We went to a place called Bistro Pastis. IT WAS FABULOUS! They specialize in steak fritte, but it was upscale and a lovely menu. I had an endive salad instead and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten. I would highly recommend the place. It was in Vancouver proper. Kits_____, some long name I don't remember, but fondly called Kits by the locals. www.bistropastis.com
