First, when watching the Global TV Morning News, we saw a news item that Grouse Mountain would be offering free gondola admission to local residents on Wednesday, August 6th. As retirees, we only get a few dollars off mountain admission and find the single-entry summer price pretty exorbitant nowadays. It's fun to get up above Vancouver once in a while when the sky is clear and blue. That can often be the case at this time of year. We haven't visited since 2020. I jumped online and got two for Jay and me. That is what the first image shows.
Secondly, we had made an appointment to visit our banker at the uptown branch of RBC this morning at 11:00. Franky was away for a while and we always have some banking decisions to make during summers when we're in town. The second shot is from the mall uptown looking across 6th Avenue at the bank building.
Lastly, when we walked back inside the mall to return to the roof parking, we walked through the Walmart. We needed to pick up bananas but the store had ones that were over-ripe. We have a specific Langley Farm Market location where we buy most produce, so we drove to 12th Street and got a whole lot more than bananas. One cannot pass up cherries at this time of year! In fact, one reason I love this season is due to the availability of fresh BC fruit. Therefore, the last photo is just locally-grown peaches from the Okanagan.
