This morning we hiked in Stanley Park along the trails lingering through Stanley Statue, artist circle, and Totem pole. We walked about 5 kilometers all the way to Lion Gates Bridge, but I wasn’t extremely tired or exhausted. I guess the green peaceful woods had something to do with that. Then, we took the bus which cost us CD$7 in total for on day unlimited ride to Third Beach. Dad and Judy went directly down to beach, while mom and I sat on bench enjoying the view and the sun. It was quite cold and beautiful. Later we went to Second Beach, which was surrounded by a pool and playground. We saw a sea gull dropping a shell to the ground in order to break it. Later, we went to a big pond called Lost Lagoon of the park, and saw a beautiful poem by Pauline Johnson which named this pond. It was once a lagoon, but the road construction caused it be isolated from the seawater, so it is a pond now. To keep the fish in the pond alive, they had to set up an artificial spring to pump the water in the air to get oxygen into it. The water is murky and dirty, but there are interesting ducklings and ducks inside. It was fun to watch them fighting over their food and struggling to eat the tiny fish they found.
Later on, we walked around the city, but couldn't find anything we wanted to eat for lunch. Thus, we went to Safeway and ate exactly what we ate yesterday, except that we had canned sardine plus canned tuna today. After lunch, we slept the whole afternoon like yesterday, and then woke up at 7:30 p.m. We went to Vietnamese Pho Number One in the West End to eat Vietnamese noodles and rice for dinner. It was delicious but expensive. Then we went to English Bay to watch the sun set. It was exquisite.
