Warmest swim this summer....wow!

After a rather busy day we went for a swim....wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

Photos didn't quite load in order of the day...guess I'll have to do them in batches.  Anyway,  we began at the Gourmet Warehouse and got some goodies, then across the street to the Waldorf Hotel parking lot where on Sundays they have a number of food carts.  Great idea as I guess the downtown food carts don't get as much business on the weekend.  Pig on the Street had over a hundred people lining up and not many fewer for the Mom's Grilled Cheese Sanwiches.  Obviously a great success.

Then on to the TD Chinatown Festival where we scored some free samples and three of these tote bags that fold into a small little pouch.   They had street food but we were just a little too hot so we headed home for a beer on our deck then a wonderful salmon burger (sockeye cooked to perfection...a bit raw on the  inside...Monique , you would have loved it too)  and Red Truck  Ale at the Stanley Park Fish House.  They have this special from 2-4 every day....12 bucks for beer and the burger.

 Very funky place, the Waldorf now.   Richard's band played there quite a bit.


 I was tempted to get a free turban but was a little hot.


 Kids were having great fun with the drawings....and the volunteers below were having even more fun doing them I think!




 I think these two street carts will become as popular as Japadog.





At these prices they could be disposable....
