Stanley Park

Today, Monster & I took a four hour bike ride around Stanley Park. We were lucky to get out when we did, it was gorgeous. Now that we're home, it has started to rain. In fact, it's raining so hard that it's coming down sideways. Nice to see it from my bedroom window, not so nice to be in it. Especially considering that we forgot to bring umbrellas with us. (Who forgets umbrellas a necessity like umbrellas in Vancouver? Only me.) The biking gave us such a good workout & we got to travel through a pretty gorgeous part of our city. And the best part? We walked to Stanley Park & back--no transit needed.





Here is Monster in front of the library on our way out this morning.

This is close to where we had lunch, on Second Beach.














At this point, we decide to cut into the interior of the park. The forest smelled so mossy & fresh and, this being a Tuesday, there was hardly anyone else on the trails.
