this weekend was filled with the outdoors - which is probably appropriate since i'm in vancouver - the most beautiful place on earth (according to the BC sign when you enter the province) - and i start work on monday, so won't have time off every single day.
this weekend had: friday night sushi dates with way too much food; casual hangouts with seinfeld and other long lost sitcoms for late night friday drinks at home; an early morning saturday - with a good breakfast of steel cut oats, honey, cinnamon, and a good book that i just finished reading (and tea - ALWAYS tea); a road trip to squamish; a long, exhausting, fairly technical, and overwhelmingly beautiful hike up the chief - to second and third peak (first peak will have to come another day); a long decline after the hike; a grocery shop (boring); some (veggies) burgers and beer to celebrate after spending the day hiking; an evening in with dinner and comfy clothes; a sunday of exploring vancouver; chat with my dad - during which he bragged about the 30+ degree weather at home; flea marketing; wandering around Main street; realizing i didn't get a may transit pass, and then walking home; vietnamese subs in my hood; a walk to the beach; reading and sightseeing at the beach near my house (not bold enough for a bathing suit yet - but my dress still afforded some tan lines!); learning that vancouver closes lots of things on sundays; stir fry dinner; and getting ready for my first week of work training.
the cliff looking up about 1/8th up the hike... i had no idea what i was in for; the 3rd peak of the hike in squamish - probably mostly half worried i was going to fall off the edge, and half in shock i even made it to the top; saturday morning breakfast and a book; finally - some art on the walls; the flea market - a perfect last sunday before work; a walk in the park on sunday afternoon; the water was warmer than the air; beaches with grass AND mountains. this is literally heaven.
