so the olympic recount continues. we took Pilar out one night to check out the street life, and it sure was exciting! we live close to downtown so every night we could hear the fireworks, but we couldn't see them. occasionally we saw few blue lasers in the sky but that was it.
this night we got Pili in the back carrier, and took the bus downtown. we walked along Granville street, passed the children's lantern installation, and the up Georgia to the art gallery and Robson Square where there was so much going on! it was amazing to this public space being used. at 9 pm the first light show started and we were right in the thick of it all. there were laser projections on buildings, fire balls, and the famous zip line had athletes zipping across to loud music. it was really a family affair with tons of kids around. the music and the fire balls shooting around everywhere started making Pilar nervous and scared, so we hopped back on the bus and went home.
all in all it was a super fun night, and it was really great to catch even a glimpse of the action!
yes I know the olympics were way back in February and it's now MAY! in this set of photos you can see the three of us out and about in our beautiful city on a very unusually warm and sunny winter day, in fact these were taken on Valentine's Day! I got to spend the day with both of my sweeties. we walked to granville island and hopped on the temporary street car to cambie street and walked to chinatown from there to check out the new year parade. unfortunately by the time we got there the parade was over, but there were still tons of people wandering the streets. Sergio and Pilar at pork buns to celebrate the Chinese New Year, and we listened to the crackle of fireworks, and the watched the dancing dragons.
we stood in a lot of lineups waiting for the new canada line and the granville island street car. where ever we went Pili loved being cute, and getting a reaction from anyone watching her. she also loved walking around in general, which at this time, she had only been doing for 6 weeks!
