Vancouver is going through a weird weather phase: one day it’s sunny and warm, the next is cloudy and chilly. Yesterday, I headed out to downtown Vancouver to watch the Vancouver Canucks take on the Boston Bruins in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. I got there quite early (2:30) for a 5 o’ clock start. It’s interesting to see the streets fill up with people, especially when it’s a weekday and most people have to work.

CBC Vancouver, as usual, was doing coverage for the pre-game show. They kept talking about how nice the weather was, with the warm sun beaming down on them. We were all watching it on the big screen… while we were in the shade behind the Vancouver Public Library building. We were shivering from the wind and staring enviously at them a few feet away from us in the sun. It is definitely not warm enough to be wearing just a t-shirt and jeans all day out.

A dog came by to say hi after he (or she?) smelled my friend eating his delicious sandwich. This turned out to be my photo of the day. (After I failed at Project 365 – where you take a picture a day from January 1st, I decided to start in June since I have more time now that I have summer off.) You can check out the rest of the series here.

Sadly, the outcome didn’t favour my team again this time around. Since I am only going to be there for Game 5 and not the rest of the series, I feel like I lost interest in the series to a certain degree. Since the game start at 5pm, I don’t know if I will be able to catch it on TV on the cruise, especially since I don’t know what I will be doing then. I might be off the boat!

I even checked how expensive internet and WI-FI will be in the cruise. It’s around 70 dollars. Yeah, I’m not that desperate.

Counting down to the Alaskan Trip!
