Flashback: Summer 2008
Back in the summer of 2008, Dimitri and I (later Vasso too) spent a full month or more in Vancouver, my home city. "We" were writing my PhD then and stayed at my Sister's and Brother's homes. It was a memorable because my son was wild about fishing and I really enjoyed the fish-watching.
I share some photos, most of them personal, but I guess you get the idea. An 11 year old kid really should be exposed to the wonders of the aqua-world in this way. And we are so much richer for it.
