Garry Point was a very beautiful place, although not NEARLY as beautiful as buntzen lake (The dreams of boating there ended as soon as the boats were off sale and no lifejackets could be donated to the thriftstore) Yet there was water there, too, a murky blue kind of still ocean.
There was a bunch of people there as well, many of them flying kites or picnicking or playing ball in the small stadium formed by the spindly trees. Naturally, we were one of the picnickers. We forged our own path by picking a spot in the rocky garden that somehow nobody else was brave enough to claim.
Or, maybe, they just didn't want to appear homeless as they did:
Overall, Ems was ecstatic over her $3.75/8 pc raw scallop sushi from Pricesmart (why doesn't UBC sell this?!) and the rest of the family enjoyed other Pricesmart goodies like dim sum and spring rolls and homecooked rice. There is something urban and yet ourdoorsy about using environmentally disastrous foam dinnerwear and disposable chopsticks. After a yummy meal, Ems and mams went off to take pictures of the beautiful place and we all know about Doms and dayds, as exemplified by the picture above. It was a lazy, but quick trip, but a good one. Funnily enough the park is close to the area we always travel too, yet today is the first day we've been there. Good thing we went there while the weather was still great-breezy and cold but with a strong undercurrent of sunshine.
Mischief to come.
