USA 5 – CANADA 3 (Hockey)

We did not have tickets to the USA – Canada game, but we did watch it on TV – LIVE because we are in Canada.
It was a fun game, and gave us a chance to rest our legs. 

HOCKEY, HOCKEY, HOCKEY - Olympic Style (excuse the trees)

 

We stayed out of downtown today, taking a 5-mile walk through some of the UBC Endowment Lands and down to a different beach. Highlights of the walk: 

Deciduous forest

Across Burrard Inlet

 

We followed our walk with a bus ride for shopping – including groceries. Busing with eggs and tomatoes is just more exciting. But we made it back, with all of the groceries in one piece.
Well, the bread was not quite loaf shaped anymore.Nachos and Greek Salad.
It sounds like an easy day, and yet I am ready for bed.

    since I work in retail, I saw this note about olympic related retail — so in case you’re looking for more mittens or anything —

    Hudson’s Bay Company’s Olympic superstore constantly has a line filing down the block and back around again to get in; the demand is so high that they decided to keep the store open for 24 hours starting Friday night and going until Sunday at midnight.
