i saw my first Grizzly Bears yesterday afternoon
admittedly they were behind an electric fence at the top of Grouse Mountain in Vancouver but still they were magnificent beasts, although quite what they made of some obnoxious kid next to us shouting to his dad "hey these bears suck lets go & see some wolves" is hard to tell
i have been very busy this week & have been all over this great City, perhaps the saddest part is the area around Hastings Street where the drug addicks, hookers & other misfortunates are gathered in their hundreds - Hastings is truly Skid Row & the sad folks in this part of town don't obviously fit into Vancouver's tag as the world's no.1 city to live in
vancouver is a real mix, loads of chinese immigrants mingle with a sizeable Punjabi population & the usual ragtag mix of Europeans - the scenery is stunning, the house prices escalating & the weather by Candian standards positively balmy
we have been to some fabulous bakeries, coffee shops & two beautiful supermarkets - whole foods & urban fare - it's a food lovers paradise
tune of the day (in honour of a great band who just split) where did our loving go - alfie
