Ruth and I returned to Canada at the end of June, 2013, after nine years of living in China.

Ruth went to Winnipeg to visit friends and family.  She is the co-owner of a house in there.

I went to Maple Ridge to claim our dog, GouGou (pronounced GoGo), to buy a van and a bicycle and a smart phone, to attend a DGC sponsored party at the Dockside Restaurant at the Granville Island Hotel, and then to make my way to Saltspring Island via Nanaimo.

That’s where I am now.  And this is my first post as a repatriated Canadian.  More to follow soon.
