Afternoon Walk

I went for an afternoon walk with my son.  The temperature was perfect and we enjoyed walking along the Bow River and over to a pond near Carburn Park in Calgary.  Along the way I met a nice elderly Chinese woman who couldn't speak English.  I communicated with her by Kanji that I showed her on my iphone.  I showed her 金沢and she could understand the city name.  She pronounced it different than Kanazawa but I thought it was interesting that I could communicate with her using Kanji.
