This afternoon dad and I drove to Mission to visit a friend of his who builds violins. He showed us his studio and workshop, and also explained to us the process of building a violin (ie - type of wood and tools used, optimizing sound, etc..). It was very interesting. I think he charges around $4000 per violin, and has customers from as far away as Germany and the Ukraine.
After the tour, dad and I went to Westminster Abbey for a short visit. We checked out the massive church, and also walked to the lookout.
Tomorrow I will go to Vancouver and spend some time with friends there.
