Since we have lived at UBC we have often walked over to the SUB for lunch...usually for burgers but I had calamari once which was very good. We only go on days you can sit outside and enjoy mountain views. I have noticed a young couple who are usually drinking a pitcher of something fruity looking. While Jim was ordering (you need to order at the bar) the young man offered to put up an umbrella for me.
Later we asked what they were drinking and he said "mojitos" and even offered us a taste. It is a drink associated with Cuba but I'm sure we had a mojito in Mexico or perhaps Palm Springs at some point.
It turns out he is a medical student at UBC and they live in Kits. They had some nice looking bikes. It's funny to think that driving a car to UBC was the thing to do in our day if you lived any distance from the campus. We paid $5 a year for parking. Times have changed...
Perhaps I'll get a mojito the next time we're there.
