Field Trip

Stopped at IHOP for brunch and arrived at Weir at 10:00. Visited over recess and then joined Diane's class for a field trip to the Vancouver Art Gallery.

We travelled by bus and skytrain, getting off at the Burrard Street Station. After stopping in the HSBC Building to look at Alan Story's "Broken Column" Pendulum. They were impressed but were also excited by the revolving door into the bank. The kids then ate their lunch on the steps of the VAG.

The show was interesting - Canadian Women Modernists: The Dialogue with Emily Carr and the docents were efficient and talented. After studying a couple of galleries everyone painted a picture.

We arrived back at school just after 3:00. Joined a group in the staff room for afternoon tea.

Then to Ikea and Staples in Richmond for a few things. I arrived back home knackered.
