The Day's Events

Today was a full one. It started quite ordinarily with a Saturday morning trip to the Superstore. The only unusual thing about that was I bought a new cooler with the PC Points accumulated on my credit card. We tossed the old cooler, which we may have bought in the 90's, into the recycling bin. Oh, and I purchased a Coleman 5-person dome tent. They were having a sale at the department store that is across the street. We had lunch at home but plans for the afternoon.


We went to downtown Vancouver to meet up with friends. This is such a fantastic place at this time of year! Of course we hopped on the SkyTrain to get downtown and then a bus to get to closer to Harwood Street.




First, we stopped at the apartment for a while and chatted. Later, we went for an afternoon walk to English Bay and then along the north side of False Creek.








From there, we went back up from the end of Davie into the community gardens, so we could see the plots that our friends take care of.






A pub was next and then we had dinner at the New Peace Chinese Restaurant. It was a great place for fiery Schezwan Chinese! By the time we'd walked down to Waterfront, it was after 9:00 pm. I remember this as we heard the loud, Stanley Park canon.






We SkyTrained back to New Westminster from there. It was a very pleasant afternoon and evening.
