Welcome to my newest followers, Nancy from A Gardener's Cottage in Michigan and Jose Ramon Santana Vazquez from Spain. Thank you both.
It was almost two years ago that we had a fire in the condo and had to move to a hotel suite for a few months. My room mate had one suite in the hotel and I had another. It was nice having this because daily someone would clean my bathroom and vacuum and my roommate would cook dinners and bring them to me down the hall. All I had to do was get ready each morning and wash my dirty dishes as well as do my laundry. There was a washer dryer in the apartment so that was handy.

| This was my kitchen area. |

| This was my living room area and the small built in desk at which I did my blogging. You can see through the open blinds that there was a small patio. |
I enjoyed living in the hotel but by the end of my time there (about 4 months), I was ready to go home. Lately though I find myself missing the hotel. What I really miss is the ready access to downtown and the well known English Bay area.
 |
| Off of my patio I can see the waters of English Bay just beyond the high rises. |
 |
| It was hard to get a good shot of the water due to that one building, lol. But you can see the big "ship" in the background. |

| Here is a night time shot of the sunset and the busy strip called Davie Street. I enjoyed the busyness and it wasn't too noisy to sleep at night. |
What I miss most though is the wonderful and colourful sunsets which I could readily see and photograph from my patio.
I also miss my Saturday walks to nearby places like this farmer's market
... along "secret" winding paths like this
... and lovely, unexpected places to sit
...and being able to buy big bunches of flowers like this :-)
and fireworks displays like this....
 |
| Even crowds like this rushing back from the fireworks show. |
All in all, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. But I am glad that my home is repaired and I can stay there once again. It was just nice to remember the "good times" at my temporary home.
