Hot Tubbing...

Yes, we really do have a hot tub and sauna... and it's our private hot tub... or so we feel like it is since no one else EVER uses it!!!!

Our day at Light House Park...

To start of our Saturday afternoon adventure we stopped off at the Burnaby McDonalds... WOW... that is first class McDonalds... Leather seats, talking garbage cans... it must be McDonalds headquarter!!!




So on route to Stanley Park we decided to detour off to Light House Park instead... (it is at the end of Marine Drive in West Van - for those of you who know Vancouver.)

I carried around a doggie bag... Just in case one of us had to go really bad... You never know!

Because it was originally not in the plan to go to Light House Park, I wore flip flops...
I was sliding down cliff sides... almost right into the ocean... but don't worry I'm still alive :)

Now I think it's into our hot tub to soak our poor aching muscles...

I can see clearly now the rain is gone...

Today is the first clear day since I arrived 13 days ago! Scott, Jan and I are going to Stanley Park to bask in the fresh ocean air and watch the seagulls poop on people's heads!

My second blog... and my second nite on the town

Well, it was an interesting day.... I was once again stuck at home waiting for Telus to come fix our phone... and who shows up but two young men... (it's raining men...) and the one Telus guy asks me out... and asks for my cell # (co policy that he couldn't call me on my home line)....

BUT before venturing out with Mr T (as we nicknamed him) I took my first trip to Metro Town... which is the huge mall in our back yard... I would say very close to West Ed. WOW I felt very little in the big mall... felt very American...
The best part of this shopping outting was coming home with the goodies... in our apartment we have shopping carts in the parkade and so we can unload everthing into this shopping cart and drive the cart right into your suite... I drove my groceries right to the fridge... WOW no carrying heavy bags of milk and Javex 2!

Tonite... out with Mr T... first to Cambie pub... yikes... signs say, "pitchers can only be purchased if being shared with 2 or more people" - something like that... now what does that say for the place. Met a very cute young young boy... 21 from Austraila... who lived in Indonesia.... but couldn't talk long b/c Mr T was getting jealous...

Then off to plaza... was good... but had to bring the nite to an abrupt end.... not sure if it was the greasy fries or the fact that I'm getting old!!!

Anyway, here is a great picture of our sunset tonite here on the coast!

My Very First Blog!!!

Well I've given in to the peer pressure of starting a blog... and why not... what a better time than now with starting a new life in a new big city!

This is day12 in Vancouver!! Little Edmonton girl is now big city girl... and I've adjusted quickly.
Today was my first day trying out the public transportation... yeah not like the little LRT back home... many DIFFERENT people here... different being a nice way to put it.

I'm sure I'll have many great stories to tell as the days progress!!!

This is the one of the first day's in my new place... this is a picture from our balcony... from the other window we can see the ocean... I'll post more pictures as I get better ones on a clear day... but it is spring here so it could be awhile before it stops raining! This is Vancouver.
