On Thursday the sky cleared up so I decided to get up early and go hiking Friday. Early being 800am. I drove to the old Forbidden Plateau ski hill parking lot and parked the car there right infront of the remains of the ski lodge.
During the week we made plans to hit up Bowen Island and Mt. Gardner on Sunday. I didn’t want to sit around doing nothing on Saturday either, so I finally got my hair cut in the morning before setting out with a plan to hike up Cypress. The hair cut took longer than expected so I didn’t get to the…
On Saturday I finally got out hiking with Keith. We had some trouble meeting up on time but eventually made it to the bottom of Grouse. We got out of the car at 10:45 at the same time that an ambulance and fire engine pulled up. That didn’t stop us and we began the BCMC trail. The Grouse Grind…
Friday was my last day of work. Scott helped me move my stuff to storage — Kyle’s place at UBC and we decided to try out windsurfing the next day. We met up at Jericho beach and tried to wind surf for a couple of hours. The guys had done it before and they tired to show me but the little bay was…

We sat out on the deck to enjoy the sun. On Bowen, we were able to use our U-Pass to jump on a mini bus that took us to…
The weekend began Friday night with a dinner at the Afgan Horsman’s restaurant for Keith’s birthday. Its located near the entrance to Granville island on the upper floor of a mall. Somewhat steep for students, it was an interesting experience and a fun birthday. Several of Keiths dance friends…
Woke up at 400am yesterday to go star gazing and see the sunrise. A couple nights ago Dad, Mom, and I had been out star gazing and trying to see Jupiter’s moons. I succeeded this time in seeing 3 of the 4 moons using a tripod to steady my binoculars. In hindsight, I might have seen the…
