Grizzly Bears at Grouse Mountain

26 Apr 2008.

Teresa was in town this weekend. We went to Grouse Mountain for a bit of touristy stuff. The ski season closed last weekend, but there was still plenty of snow. We were delighted to see some Grizzly Bears (2 real ones and 1 stuffed one). The Grizzly bears had just come out of hibernation.

Bike the Blossoms

19 Apr 2008.

Now that the ski season is over, it was time to get on our bikes! Alykhan & I went on a 25km bike ride around Vancouver. It was a self guided bike ride to admire the blossoming trees along the way and also to stop at the various food stops. I would have taken more photos but it is slightly dangerous to be riding on the road and taking photos at the same time!

Less than 24 hours earlier, it was snowing in Vancouver (quite rare considering is is late April!). Here is a random lump of snow I saw that day.

Girls just wanna have fun

What goes on tour, stays on tour...but here is a sneak peek!

What were they thinking? Somebody brought this inflatable man to Buffalo Bills Bar as their date.
