July Long Weekend


Hi everyone,
it was perhaps the most beautiful July long weekend we've ever had. Geoff had 4 days off (and of course I'm off everyday), so we explored and enjoyed the sun, sun, sun!!!
We spent most of the weekend in and around water: English Bay (westend), Third Beach (in Stanley Park), Wreck Beach (near UBC), Second Beach Pool (in Stanley Park), Petgill lake (800m mark on a mountain hike), Murrin lake (0m mark on that same hike), Beaver Lake (lotus and water lily pond extraordinaire), and Spanish Banks.

We also found a great South Indian restaurant, cycled the seawall, barbecued, tended to our balcony water garden, took in some latin rhythms on False Creek (part of the Jazz Festival), and went to a human rights concert with Cyndi Lauper, Sarah Mclachlan, the B52s, Joan Armatrading, and Nona Hendrix.
We definitely took advantage of the long July days.
