Van weekends

Weekends in Van (Vancouver for the not insiders ;)) are so much fun, there is lots to do during the summer! Two weeks ago it was Canada day weekend, Canada day was on a Monday so it was a long weekend. Saturday I went outlet shopping with Elicia and Tatiana in new Westminster, never expected to find so many good deals, got 5 shirts, a dress and a Guess jeans for 150 dollars, yep that was a successful trip. After that we went to the beach, English bay and had some Sushi at sunset, awesome day.

Sunday I went to the beach and I met two Dutch couples, the first Dutch people I have met here.

Monday it was time for Canada day, Sherry and I had so much fun, we basically did everything. Started at Granville street with all the street artists, did most of the family stuff at Canada place, danced in the fountain at the seawall, it was a very hot day, joined the parade and finished with the fireworks. Lots of pictures in the album Canada day, see tab pictures.

Tuesday I went to an open air movie in Stanley park with my neighbours Robyn and Nia, we watched the teenage mutant ninja turtles ;). I met a lot of new people. They have those movies every Tuesday so I'm going to catch some more, it was so much fun.

The four days of work went by so fast and it was another weekend. Had another beach day on Saturday with Tina and Sherry, yep lots of beach days out here, it is summer. We ended that day with cocktails and Sushi.

Sunday I went to Whistler, met Jenn, we did some camping Sunday night, except for the fact that we didn’t slept over, but others did. It was fun and a real Canadian experience ;).

And here we are at this weekend. Yesterday I caved and I went to new West again, but this time not to go outlet shopping but to go to the Holland shopping center, bought some Dutch product and had a nice bun with old cheese for lunch, nomnomnom, yes missed that.

During the afternoon I went to Kitsilano for the Khatsalano music and arts festival with Robyn and Molly. They had blocked 10 blocks at 4^th for this festival, it was a lot of fun, did some new stuff, drinking out of a coconut. There were lots of stages, food and artsy stuff on the way, it was a great afternoon and evening.

 As always more pics are to be found in the albums under the tab pictures, albums June, July and Canada day. Have fun. Oh and in between yes I still work, most of the time, but the good stories are during the weekends, Vancouver is a summer city.
