Thursday was for redoing many favourites from my stay in Vancouver 3 summers ago.
- It started with a morning jaunt to Stanley Park which is just beautiful and basically downtown.
- Following the park and lunch we went down to play on Kits Beach which is regarded as one of the nicest areas to live in the GVA (and also is home to the "Dollar Surprise" store that really is full of surprises).
- Dinner at
The Naam restaurant is a favourite and extra-ordinary experience as I am able to pick
anything off of the fully vegetarian menu (went with the enchilada and sesame-potato wedges with miso gravy).
- Post-dinner entertainment turned out to be a new experience, as we happened upon a comedy troupe that rather hilariously acted out skits involving gay evil-villains, wish-granting beggars, and a PSA with the message "Use hand sanitizer - or perish!". Of course all of this was much, much funnier than I describe.
- Back to previous favourites... Headed to the Railway Club which hasn't changed much since 2006, riding a good-thing since it has been in business in the same location since 1931! It's a magnificent old music venue with a large wooden bar stretching along it, a stage and the best part of all - a working miniature train that circles the place all night. The bands weren't much to speak of but the atmosphere was and I think Natasha's decided it will be her favourite too!
