245: LONG SHADOWS

Riding home just before dusk.

I spent the whole day commuting by bicycle - first to Kerrisdale for lunch and a chat with a friend who just came back from a trip to France, then to Main Street for a Jamaican dinner in honour of a friend who is moving away from Vancouver tomorrow. All in all it was a good day off - I got to exercise, eat, AND socialize. My favourite part of the day though was when I was locking my bike up at the bicycle rack on Main Street. A group of girls passed by and looked at my bike, and one of them said, "That's a sick bike". Yes it is a sick bike indeed.

P.S. For the first time ever, I had a passenger sit on my rear rack of my bike today as I biked around some bushes. Fun times! Not very safe though, that extra hundred pounds made me wobbly.

46: AN OLYMPIC DAY

A bicycle at the Vancouver house in Livecity Yaletown. I spent all day walking around Vancouver going to the different countries' pavilions...the long line-ups everywhere were so not worth it. I didn't get any free things, not even get any free cheese!

And then I went home and watched my friend Ciambella Rae present the gold medal to Alex Bilodeau on TV during the medal ceremonies. My FRIEND presented Canada's first ever gold medal on home soil. Wow! Ciambella Rae, you are one lucky girl!
