Keeping myself busy

Summer in Vancouver

sunny 25 °C

Over the past month I've pretty much been swamped with work, but I have managed to fit in a few fun days and nights out, and I jumped at the chance to go exploring as often as I could. I've been getting familiar with some of the local restaurants (mostly so I didn't have to cook), and went to 'All you can eat Sushi' with Ayline, had a German brunch with Heike, somewhere in Richmond with Jessica, to a dinner party at Kristin’s and Nicks apartment and a Farewell dinner for Jörg (who returned to Austria).

Here is a bit of a photo montage to let you see what I've been up too (when I haven’t been stuffing my face).

One day Ayline (my roommate) and I ventured over to Bowen Island (a 20 minute ferry ride from West Vancouver) and explored around Snug Cove. As we were on foot, we didn't venture far, but popped into a few shops and then settled down to a hearty lunch and a bottle of wine at a café right on the Marina. When it dawned on us, we'd been sitting there for well over two hours, a little light-headed we headed over to the Memorial park, and the causeway and did a spot of blackberry picking. Ayline’s a bit of a paparazzi with the camera at the best of times, so here’s a few shots of hers:

After six weeks of nonstop shows, mayhem, rainouts and fun we ended the TUTS season with a night out at an Italian restaurant and went on to a club where one of the drivers was a DJ.

Not my finest hour

So I apologize for not keeping in touch as often as I should be, but as you can see I’m just having too much fun!
