July 3 - Burnaby Lake Trails

We went to Safeway and bought two days worth of food. We are trying to buy just what we need. We figure with rain in the forecast tomorrow, that we’d be eating in camper today and tomorrow.
After lunch, we walked to Burnaby Lake Park and walked about an hour and a half. I got some nice wildflower photos. We took the binoculars because it is supposed to be a good place to see birds, but we did not see many. It was good exercise, though. Both of us have been bothered by sinuses today. We decided this morning not to go out sightseeing because of the weekend crowds. We definitely want to see Stanley Park. I’d like to drive up to Whistler one day. Those each would require a day. We will have to decide what to do that third day. We may just go downtown and try to locate B.C. Place where they had the opening and closing ceremonies for the Olympics and several other things downtown.
Also, on the way home from Safeway, we saw a homemade sign for a warehouse sale of Olympic stuff. We went there and bought a few things at a great price. We had seen just a plain t-shirt with the Olympic logo for $36. The cheapest one we saw yesterday was $26. Today we got them for $10, and they were better looking! I love a bargain! Yesterday was sunny and warm in the sun. I think it got up to 72. Today, it has only gotten to 64.
Gas is expensive here. It is selling for around $118.1 per liter. The most driving we will do will be to Whistler, if we decide to go there. Otherwise, we would have enough gas to limp back into the good old U.S.A. to gas up and not complain that it is still much higher than back home.
I just cannot get over all the foreigners here. Even up in the lounge here in the campground where we get on the computer, I will hear multiple foreign languages. I heard on TV that the biggest population of immigrants are the Chinese here. I think I am hearing German right now. When we were waiting on a bus at the Capilano Bridge, there were two girls from Finland. They must have been college students. It is just interesting to a small town girl.
