Jim was tired today since he taught a class on his birthday and also had swarms of students in his office hour so we decided to go to Granville Island...parked for free in our resident's parking by the Aquatic Centre and took the False Creek Ferry to Granville Island. Great to do it this way since parking and traffic are horrific otherwise. So, a "cruise" for his birthday and then the Sandbar bar where we got a seat overlooking the water and had their "Mussel Mania" special....wow, 10 bucks for a pint of Granville Island Honey Lager, two dozen mussels a la provencale with loads of chorizo saucage and great broth, and frites with dijon (wonderful...like they do in France). Richard put us on to this great deal...merci, Richard!
