My best friend Tanya & I decided to brave the rain & hockey enthusiasts, and head down to the legendary Cambie Hotel for some good quality BC beer and some last minute cheer yesterday. We were well received with all sorts of ethnicities and cultures. I stood in line for beer with a few people from proud Alberta, due to the latest Calgary Flames victories. We were well intoxicated from the people, relentless drip-dropping of the rain outside and the beautiful pitchers of Graville Island blonde ale. In the end of the evening, we were busy in her kitchen cooking pork sausages, whole wheat bread and maple syrup.
This morning was rather unforgiving to Tanya, as she awoke at 7am to go to work for 9am. She arrived at the telemarketing call centre to find that noone had arrived at the office yet. Thirty minutes later, her supervisor arrived to hand her last weeks paycheque and told she didn't have to work today. Arriving home, we smoke some BC ganja, and head down to the payphone to make a call (Tanya's cell phone prices during the day are phenomenal) and the phone had a $1.25 credit on it. After a brief phone call to Andrew to make plans for tonight, we head to the Grind for coffee and a walk to Queen Elizabeth Park to admire the waterfall. Quite the walk up many bumps & hills in the drip-dropping relentlessly refreshing rain I wished for, we make it to the beautiful clearing.
I loved coming to this beautiful city I came from, and hope to do it again in the near future, possibly spring, when the rain forests of BC are at their prime. Goodbye Vancouver, you have yet to disappoint on any picturesque visit.
Thank you for your graciousness.
Yours,
Rebecca
