This past weekend was our 4th weekend here in Vancouver and it was also my birthday weekend! Saturday we found this amazing National Park about 5 minutes from our house and had such a gorgeous walk with Marley. The pine trees were just miles high and it was just such an amazing day for the walk too...at the end of the walk we ended up on a big cliff over looking the water and Vancouver Island. That evening we went to a mexican restaurant I have heard about to see if it was anything that I hoped it would be and it was!! Such good margaritas, great salsa and great food! I was so nervous we wouldn't have good mexican food here but I was proven wrong, and it's on our street!
Sunday we had breakfast with a friend of a friend of Sam's, it was a long wait but it only cost $3! That day we walked up and down Broadway, just a few blocks from us and found a bar with a patio and $10 pitchers! We finally moved inside and continued the drinking and made friends with the bartender who played Jenga with us. We finally stumbled to my favorite little sushi restaurant and then home for the night.
Sam took Monday off of work for my birthday, thank goodness! It was such a dismal day outside, I would have been depressed on my own! We went to Chinatown which was really interesting and had an authentic chinese lunch. Went to our local pub for a couple of pints to stay out of the rain too...and then finally to the botanical gardens for my dinner! We ended the night at home drinking red wine, eating molten chocolate cake and playing Rummikub! I couldn't have asked for a better b-day in Canada!
