So Sharla is in town from Fernie and one of our favorite things to do is to head down to Robson as well as the beach, so yesterday we headed there. We walked from the art gallery (the real one)down Robson until we hit Stanley Park. We walked to 2nd beach all the way until False Creek where we then boarded the little ferry and went to Granville Island. We walked around the market which was full of so many good things we wanted to eat, but resisted. We went to a art gallery where they sell all art from Zimbabwe. We were kindly looking around at all the carvings and stuff when Sharla out of no where gasped and stood staring at the wall. I didnt see what she was staring at until I moved a little further and noticed it was a blown up picture of Victoria Falls in Zambia/Zimbabwe. I felt like I was getting kicked while I was already down. Ouch. We continued on back to the ferry but first stopped to listen to this guy sing. He had a great voice but his lyrics were a little off. I dont remember what they were. Sharla, please remind me!!! Anyways... we took the ferry, walked up Burrard back to Robson. We stopped at a place called Caffe Sette. It is a cafe during the day and a night club at night. It was really cool. The thing that threw me off though was the guy working there. Not a guy you would think to work at the cafe, but a guy looking more like a bartender who was quite buff and cute. I wasnt complaining!! We headed on the skytrain home and I dropped Sharla off. It was a awesome day all together! Later that night I went to see The Departed. I actually enjoyed in surprisingly since it was more of a male movie, but its all good!!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
Wouldn't believe that its fall in Vancouver. We have been so blessed by this beautiful weather!!!
The beautiful beach!

lynn, i think you and i have a serious problem. somehow, we have started a "lets walk through the streets of vancouver in our barefeet." smart? no. get lots of strange looks? yes. but heck, when you're playing in the sand, you just CAN'T do that in barefeet. it's just wrong. and who wants to bother putting their shoes back on right away when the sand is still stuck to the feet?
as for the singer guy's lyrics (his inspiration for the song came from Dr. Suzuki) they went something like this:
"Dr. Suzuki said that we're all like fruit flies (echo: fruit flies)... and i really think he was on to something..."
how profound.
fruit flies are amazing creatures... they eat and make larvea... and eat more.
maybe he's making a political commentary?
:) looks like fun ladies.
