This is the beginning of the Victoria Day long weekend in Canada. It's often considered the unofficial beginning of summer. However, this year is a bit different in British Columbia; namely, today felt as though it is finally the end of winter. It has been colder and wetter than normal since our return to Canada on the last day of March.
Starting today, I noticed a palpable sense of excitement in the air. People on the street seemed to be collectively happier. Today, I got a chance to take out my e-scooter. Of course, this made me happier. I ran along bike trails to Sapperton Park and back up through Woodlands on Victoria Hill. Before heading home and parking up on our balcony, I stopped in Tipperary Park up by City Hall.
What a muscular beast! Before my purchase, I figured I needed two motors to go up and down the hills around here. I guess it's worth occasionally carrying around its hefty 66 pounds because out on local bike paths, I can climb any hill put in front of me.
