The 19th Annual UBC Apple Festival attracted thousands of apple lovers this past weekend. CNN was there to capture the action on Sunday, October 18, 2009! More...
We were there! Wife and sister-in-law went for the apples. I just wanted to see the gardens. The guy at the ticket booth for the tasting was less than polite I thought. "Sold out. Next year come early." Like everybody lives within a few blocks of the University. Oh well. So Lillian and Harumi got in another long line for another tasting (of 4 varieties I think) and I thought to myself: " I know what an apple tastes like." and I spent a really nice hour wandering through the gardens by myself. I'll be back when there aren't thousands of other people there. I don't handle crowds very well any more. But thanks for the excuse to get there. Now its become a destination. Carl
