Summer Vacation

When I was still in school, summer vacations were such a big deal. And every time it's August 1st, I would regret the passing of one-half of my vacation. It would always feel like I have done nothing in the month that passed, and I would always vow to not waste the remaining month of my summer vacation. Sadly that is not always the case.

Now I'm all grown up and in another age group (see forms, surveys, etc: Age 18-24, 25-30, 31-39, and so on) I am glad to announce that my July was fantastic. I did so much and actually have nothing to regret on this day of August 1st. Happy month indeed. So much of it is because of friends coming and leaving so things have an extra sense of urgency to them. I went to see 3 out of 4 Bard on the Beach with my friend Anitar, who left for TW to teach English July 24th. I went out for numerous meals and the Grouse Grind with my friend Maggie, who tore through Vancouver on a two-week trip for 2 weddings and more.

Come August my friend Vicky is going back to TW for a teaching job as well. People come and people go. Oh, getting kind of sentimental. Let's just look at pictures.
