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.
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.
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.
