LONG WEEKEND!!! I've had a long (and amazing) weekend. This afternoon I'm relaxing, doing laundry and getting all energized up for a nice week ahead.
Saturday morning a friend, Derek, came to visit from Kamloops. Derek, Edwina and I headed to Metrotown mall for a bit of shopping. Derek was looking to buy a hat.
True story: took us over 30 minutes to find Derek's car in the underground parking lot
Saturday night we went to The Lennox Pub
Sunday morning we headed to North Van to watch Game #4!! A bunch of us met up at Waterfront Station to take the Seabus across the water!
Here's Edwina and Emily getting ready for the BUS DE SEA (that's my made up name for it)
Looking South towards downtown Vancouver from the Seabus
We watched the game at Queen's Cross, a cozy little pub in North Van. Game was good. First period was quiet, though Vancouver got a lot of penalties. 2nd period Canucks were on fire - scored 3 goals within about 2 minutes. 3rd period Cancucks scored 1 and the Sharks scored 2, making the final score 4-2 for the Canucks. Vancouver is now 1 win away from the Stanley Cup Final!!!

GO CANUCKS GO!!
Next we burned off some of that beer by exploring Lynn Canyon (that's Emily on the left)
We hiked around for about 3 hours, and the sights were gorgeous. We walk along a suspension bridge beside a waterfall.
This is Emily, Pratik and Derek on the suspension bridge.
I so badly wanted to go swimming - if only the water had been warmer than oh-my-goodness-so-freezing-cold.
Lots of people were hiking around Lynn Canyon. It was supposed to rain this weekend but it DIDN'T!!
There were so many sets of long stairs - definitely got a good quad and calf workout...
...and when there weren't any stairs, we roughed it.
Here's Emily, me and David down by the (ice cold) water.
We stopped for a break to have some trailmix provided by the lovely Lisa
The five of us here all go to U of Waterloo and are all working in Vancouver this summer on a co-op term. I hadn't met any of these awesome people before coming to Vancouver but we're all having a great time in BC!

Sunday night we went to a restaurant called "Social" and then headed to "The Moose," a bar downtown Van. We stayed downtown pretty late. I love nights when you don't really have anything specifically planned, but you hang out with friends and end up having a great time. Last night was definitely one of those nights.
Lots of fun. Great weekend.
Canucks play in game #5 tomorrow night, and the game is in Vancouver so there'll be a lot of excitement downtown :)
