Mucho Burrito, Vancouver, BC

Sister Sarah and I had supper at Mucho Burrito on Davie Street this evening.

The fella making our burritos was great. He was very helpful and friendly. Here's Sister Sarah ordering her veggie burrito.

I got a pork burrito with rice, beans, pork, cheese, medium salsa, green pepper and burrito sauce.

I love burritos and am particular about them. This was delicious! Sister Sarah enjoyed her burrito too.

Part of my combo was dessert. I chose cinnamon roll. It was made in-house and was okay.

Sister Sarah got cookies for her dessert and said they were good.

I looked online and see there are locations in downtown Toronto ... yay!

Wandering around Vancouver on our last day

After lunch, we took a walk to Gastown and poked in the shops.

We got to the steam clock just in time to have it whistle the 2 o'clock hour.

Then we headed west along the waterfront.

Here's Sister Sarah.

And here's me.

Here's the Olympic flame.

Here are Sister Sarah and I.

We kept walking along the waterfront and came upon this art exhibit.

We arrived at Stanley Park.

Sister Sarah played in a funny tree.

Guess which city we are in!

The Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park.

There were four raccoons in the park. They weren't really shy and came near.

The geese and their babies were cute.

We walked through the park to Second Beach and English Bay and sat by the water for a long time before following the shore towards our hotel.

What a great way to spend out last day! We did a lot of walking and saw so much.

Ceili's Irish Pub, Vancouver, BC

Sister Sarah and I had lunch today at Ceili's Irish Pub just off Granville Street.

It's a cozy pub on the second floor. The greeter at the door is very friendly.

Sister Sarah had nachos ... there was lots of cheese.

I had hot wings (they were good) and some of Sister Sarah's nachos.

We watched the first period of the Vancouver Canucks/San Jose Sharks hockey playoffs game (Vancouver won).

There were quite a few hockey lovers watching the game.

One thing I didn't like about this pub was that the bathrooms are unisex. The first one I went to had obviously been used by a guy ... the toilet seat was up and there was still pee in the unflushed toiled. Ew!

Here are me and Sister Sarah as we were leaving the pub to spend our last day in Vancouver exploring.

English Bay, Vancouver, BC

After we had supper at Khunnai Chang, we walked to English Bay and hung out for a while.

Though I've seen Sister Sarah and Lance over the years and they have seen each other, the three of us haven't been together in about 20 years.

There is an art exhibit there called A-Maze-ing Laughter by Yue Minjun of China.

Here's me ...

My brother, Lance, and his wife, Patty ...

Sister Sarah and Lance ...
It's squishing my head ...

Patty ...

We went to the beach ... here are Lance, Sister Sarah and me.

Sister Sarah frolicked in the water for a while ... it was cold.

Here we are ... Lance, Sister Sarah, Patty and me.

Lance and Sarah ...

Me and Lance ...

Me and Sister Sarah ...

The girls ... Sister Sarah, me and Patty.

Lance and Patty ... such a nice picture!

The beach was a nice place to hang for a while.
