Vancouver British Columbia is a beautiful city. The club tour’s second trip to Canada brought us to the North Shore Bridge Club, a once a week club that meets in a community center. The center is an excellent facility for a bridge game. One of the owners, Sandi White (others are Steve Beaton and Tai Eng), is caterer in her real life. They had a spread that was set out at the beginning of the game (10:00AM) and consisted of roast beef, ham, and salmon salad, among a variety of other dishes. The game had 25 tables and I played with Ram Hira whom I had met in both Louisville and Toronto. He asked me to come to Vancouver and a second visit to Canada seemed a very appealing way to end my Western swing. As it turned out, this stop was #97, not #100. Elaine and I toured the city Sunday afternoon when we arrived, and Monday after the game. We were happy we got to visit Vancouver for the first time.
