After some cool weather, spring is in the air.  It is uncommon to find azaleas here but their bloom confirms the season.  In Vancouver spring also “starts” in February and some years the weather can be warm.  Not this year though.

We bus to Mexico City on March 19, spend the night then fly to Vancouver the next day.  This itinerary is more convenient, less expensive, and gives us a chance to see some sites in the big city.
