i just got back from canada today, but most of you probably didn't even know i went. anyway, a little day to day of what i did on this amazing journey.
day 1: got in at 6pm and fell asleep on the couch
day 2: took the sky tran to vancouver, and wondered around town a bit and went to beat street and some book stores, pete took me to gas town and to lonsdale on the sea bus where we ate mexican at the Q market, twas good, then we went to his friend mac and rachels house where i met alot of canadians and played scrabble, me and pete totally kicked there asses.
day 3: walked to stanley park along the seawall 6 hours of walking through the park very long but it was great, we saw totem poles, almost went to the aquiarium except it was like 20 bucks, and saw a seagull eating a starfish. then it started pouring rain and i got the full experience of canadian misty rain spraying in your face. and ate gross chinese food and then found out tim hortons bakes their donuts. who bakes donuts. i was definately disapointed.
day 4: we walked to granville island ate dollar slices and then went to abbotsford to see more of petes friends and met some cool cats.
day 5: then hiking, but nothing to hardcore, we went to lynn canyon with andrew and julianne, saw black squirrels and little ducklings how sweet, and then got this horrible job of postering for some show.. that wasn't fun but we did get a free meal out of it and ate at the foundation where we had amazing super nachos and then sat at macs and acted really tired.
day 6: finding a place to mail postcards, we decided to treat ourselves to a nice lunch at earls and then to hang out with another friend of petes, billy, who gladly drove us around and saved us from walking for one day. he took us to get bubble tea, which from previous experiences i was not impressed with but this one made it to amazing. after that we headed to 4th street and went to skate shops where people pay way to much for things. and then to the beach for a walk (we like to walk) we found a cell phone that had been washed up and little baby crabs. oh my. after the beach billy dropped us off on main and we ate sushi and tempura then walked down to anti social which is rick mckranks shop, they were having the krooked kronicals preimer that night and the gonz was there, it was a party for sure. and i got a nice coin pouch.
day 7: ate at budgies a good little burrito shop and then went shoppping a little and thats it that days, we're tired.
day 8: woke up at 12 and really didnt do anything, ate lunch at earls again and went to the gas station where we bought 5 alive every day and i splurged on some candy, like those fizzy candies they always had when i was little that were awesome, and my newly discovered favorite, the kinder suprise, i know i may be behind on this but its amazing. i want more. after that amazingness, we played hackysack with petes brother and friend, blast from the past, i managed to still be ok.
then it was time to head out, first stop abbotsford again where andrew and julianne made us a great dinner and then we walked trough elwood park and got up at 3 to come home...
the end, canader was great, but the donuts were not.
right, eh.
