Better weather than originally planned = busy weekend
Wow, way to pack three days Mel. Not with homework, work work, but just fun activities with friends.
Let me see. There was a stagette on Friday for a colleague from work. We had dinner at Brix in Yaletown and then watched live improv at Theatersports on Granville Island. I have a lot of admiration for people who can do improvisation, I can't imagine trying to come up with witty remarks in front of a live audience. Kudos to these guys. A few sketches were really funny.
Then, Sarah and I had initially thought we would go climbing on Saturday because it was supposed to pour, but the weather was sunny and warm, so we had a little change of plans. Accompanied by Lara, we rented a powerboat (well, somewhat powerful, more like a floating deck) and went cruising around the harbour. We packed a picnic, a few beers, and enjoyed the scenery from the water. Amazing how many people were out, especially sailboats. It was very windy on the water.
I was impressed by the crowds on Granville Island. The place is always a zoo in the summer, but for Canada Day (and because of the Jazz Festival), there were people occupying every nook of the place. This year is the second year in a row that the Vancouver Jazz Festival has outdoors concerts, and they are really popular.
Today was another sunny day. Some clouds moved in during the afternoon but we didn't get any rain. Lara has visited Whistler in the past, but always when the weather wasn't cooperating and she never had a chance to see the view from the top. We decided to take a little trip up to the mountains in a cute yellow Mini Cooper from the car co-op. Weeeee!
I'll be spending quite a bit of time with Lara in the next 30 days because she is moving back to Montreal in August. I am so sad to see her leave, our relationship has strengthen in the past three years that she's been living in Vancouver and I am now losing my best friend. I know we'll keep in touch virtually and see each other probably once a year in person, but it won't be the same. I'll miss her terribly.
