Rex in the City!

Rex just got into town, so we hung-out tonight! First, we walked along Granville Street where I picked-up a free bottle of Coke from a Coca-Cola stand! And for some reason, there were chickens on display on the road! Spandy Andy!!! For dinner, we visited Bobby at his family's restaurant, Sala Thai. Rex and Bobby... Thai Iced-Tea! It was busy in here! We started off with Gai Hor Bai Toey. This was really good! Inside the leaves were marinated chicken that you dip in sauce. Just delicious! Fried Brown Rice... Garlic Wok of Beef... And last but not least, Gaeng Keaw Whan... Big thanks for dinner, Rex!!! We finished our evening by watching "The American". I heard it was boring, but we actually enjoyed it!

Back in VanCity

As I walked through Granville Street this afternoon, I saw what looked like a yoga class taking place! Why am I not surprised? Lila was here to attend a session. Awesome! 'Downward dog' is one of my favourite poses. ;) Fatty's PBO... On the way out, I saw Spandy Andy dancing in the street! Looks like he's got a partner now. After running a few errands during the day, I met-up with Angela when she got off work. She was on her way to Whistler for the weekend! After spending as much time as I could with Angela before she left, I called-up Karen to hang-out. We haven't seen each other in quite sometime. I was craving a steak because I saw the meat Angela was bringing on her trip. We decided to go eat at the Factory. Oh no, the sun was starting to go down. :( After parting with Karen, I paid a visit to the Popa Fatt residence. Check it out, they're Rooftop Yoga Studio is finally done! It's so stunning!

Rides & Eats

Look familiar? It's Killarney Market, the location Michael Buble used in his "Haven't Met You Yet" music video! When I lived in this area, it used to be an IGA. I grew-up in this neighbourhood, so when I watched the video, I quickly recognized the grocery store. Anyways, on to my target destination, the M&M Meat Shops Charity Barbecue at Champlain Mall! Thanks to some intel from Niki, I enjoyed a burger for just $2.50! Eventually, I met-up with Jorge, Hercy, and Nayeli downtown to do some bike riding. I was in awe of the two Holland America cruise ships docked at Canada Place. They just looked like floating hotels. So I'm just humming "Star Trek" as I'm biking around Stanley Park, when I hear someone to my left humming along... It was Bill! Third Beach... It was beautiful today! Add the seawall. Nayeli and English Bay... Tulips! SpandyAndy! After our ride, we decided to get something to eat at the Calling Public House. No way was I keeping MOMO locked outside unattended. "Cheers!" After Lila's first bike got stolen while they were at a restaurant, I've been paranoid about keeping MOMO out of my sight. Sliders made with AAA Alberta Beef Striploin... They were good, but expensive.The girls' food... Later in the evening, I went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner with my fellow Sun Runners. Waiting with Amanda and Tara for our table... The Green Bibbers... I just loved the fact we got a table in the train car! Todd's going to be wearing a Yellow Bib tomorrow! I'm wearing a White one. We totally loaded-up on carbs tonight! Good call you guys!!! The question, "Can I chew on your face?" came to mind when I saw this billboard as I was waiting for the Skytrain.
