To say nothing of the large Asian population of (at least) the Vancouver area, with their own tea-drinking habits. However it got to Canada, I'm very happy to carry on the tradition. I was surprised this weekend to learn from my sister that Starbucks has a tea concoction called "London Fog" that is comprised of Earl Grey and steamed milk. Surely that must be an Americanization.<br /><br />I've brought home many photos from my island excursion...it's going to be a challenge to choose which to share!Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691575624480469934.post-7935016506206644442011-03-21T14:45:01.799-03:002011-03-21T14:45:01.799-03:00Forest Dream Weaver,

Vancouver people are referred to as "Vancouverites"...a little more meteoric sounding than the cultish "Vancouvian" term, I think.

Not long after, I fell off and broke my collar bone when chased down a gravel road by a nasty, barking dog. Nevertheless, I still count it as one of the best things I've ever learned to do. Sadly, I no longer have a bike and it's years since I've been on one. This must be remedied!Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691575624480469934.post-62711066108318507092011-03-18T01:24:10.964-03:002011-03-18T01:24:10.964-03:00I love how the Canadians took the British tea-drin...I love how the Canadians took the British tea-drinking custom and made it their own!

Or did I make a typo in the first version of this post when I put it up last night, all bleary eyed, that you caught before my diligent editing this morning?
