Sailing on the Dock - Vancouver Autumn

Sailing on the Dock, this is how the sail boats looked like from the distance this chilly morning while walking by the beach in Kitsilano. It is a beautiful sunny day and we also saw a squirrel very busy getting ready for winter stuffing branches and leaves on a hole of a tree ......... There is some snow in the mountains and the temperature is cooling down ...

On Wednesday July 29^th , the hottest day in Vancouver that even broke the record for the first time in forty nine years was the turn for the UK to present their show in the Celebration of Light in Vancouver.

Yesterday was the turn for China, and with them the Celebration of Light concluded without us knowing who the winner is yet.

One of the nice things of Vancouver in the summer is that there are many things to do and events to go outdoors that it even make it difficult what to choose.
Two of the events that are happening right now are Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival 2009 Season and also Vancouver Celebration of Light.
Things to do outdoors we can go hiking, camping or just go for a walk and have brunch in one of the many restaurants of Kitsilano like Abigail’s Party where you can have a delicious classic Benny or have the classic Fish and Chips in the famous Go Fish in Granville Island.
