Falling Star (flash back):
A falling star! A falling star from the sky!!!

I raise my head to the sky and some noisy seagulls were flying around fighting each other. Unfortunately for them its treasure was in the ground in front of Cynthia, Rikar, and me: a sea star. That day, after returning the sea star to its natural habitat, the seashore of the Stanley Park in North Vancouver, I secretly made a wish… ah, but it’s a secret.

VIMFF:
This afternoon I was a speaker in the Vancouver Mountain Film Festival. My fears of my limited English were beaten with the support and patience of all kind, friendly, and warm people. Thanks to everybody who came that afternoon to the Centennial Theater with interest in my climbing and share my experiences and feelings. The best regard from Vancouver to all of you!
