Got My “L”

Got My “L”

Hey, look at this guy! I’ve accomplished my first step in getting my BC driver’s license.

…Does it stand for “Learner”, or “Loser”? 😛

City Life

I finally visited Minoru Park today. It was beautiful, but a bit smaller than I imagined. There was a large, still pond in the centre of the park, surrounded by paths and a wooden bridge.

A pleasant view from Minoru Park. You can see the bridge in the background.

There were flower beds, bushes, and trees all around, which hid the surrounding city life and made the park seem very lush. It was so tranquil.

You know, I think I’m starting to like rural, forested places more than urban ones.

A very relaxing pool that flows into a larger pond.

After my calming walk through the park, I decided to experience the other end of the spectrum by walking around the downtown Richmond area. I eventually stopped at Waves Coffee for lunch. I decided I’d try to fit in with the hipsters and nerds all sipping their lattes and concentrating on their laptops. I ordered a fancy vegetarian samosa, a German chocolate brownie, and my very first cup of espresso! WOW, was the espresso ever a shock to my system. I was sure I’d never have to sleep again.

Once I’d had my fill of lunch and people-watching, I headed over to the grocery store and then back home.

All told, it was a good day.
