Beach + Gastown

It is finally starting to feel summery here!
Started off the day by going to Jericho Beach with Jackie.

I love this picture of us. We both look good, hahaha.

 

We walked around, and then this super friendly guy came over to offer to help us take pictures.
And then all of a sudden... he said "let me get a good shot of you guys with the lady lying down"... I was like wtf. I don't want no stranger laying on the beach as my background =_=...
Thank goodness... he didn't mean a real person laying on the beach...

Can you guys see the "lady lying down" in this scene? XD

LOL HERE SHE IS.

Hahahaha. We never knew how much those mountains looked like a lady lying on her back until the friendly man told us. Interesting.

Then we walked down to the floating dock.

So many people sailing (it's called sailing, right?), and peddling on those surf board things. I don't know what they're called but I want to try.

Tied up my hair while we were on the dock because the wind was blowing my hair into my mouth...

We were walking back and we saw bunnies. Lots of bunnies.

I liked this one in particular so I had to take a picture of it, lol.

It was so cute and fluffy X3

And I was trying so hard to get the bunny to come towards me... but I failed.

The following are pictures of me failing to make friends with the bunny... captured by Jackie. T_T

"Maybe I can lure it with some grass!"

Bunny ignoring me...

Bunny running away when I tried to walk closer =(

So...

After a fun time at the beach, we met up with our dearies to grab some drinks at Gastown after dinner =]

We went to a place called The Diamond because it has pretty good reviews on Yelp.

Sorry, the picture quality below are disgusting because the bar was so dark... and I didn't have a proper camera, so I had to make do with the crappy iphone flash.

I forgot what this was called... but it was pretty good.

I liked this drink the best out of all the cocktails we had.

 

The Gastown

This tasted super similar to the previous drink, except with a hint of grapefruit.

Taxi-Man

This drink also tasted super similar to the above drinks... but of course, with a hint of orange instead of grapefruit this time.

Crab & Corn Soup

I did not enjoy this soup... It smelled really good, but tasted like hot sauce and milk, with some crab meat.

Group piccie.

Outside. Goose and I trying to look taller than usual... =_= hahaha.

We also went to Manzo afterwards to eat some more O_O. Wtf is wrong with us.

Anyway... I was super tired by the end of the night. I must be getting too old... Sigh.

Gastown again... Greedy Pig

Haha... back to Gastown again for another round of food tonight.
Initially, I wanted to go to Meat & Bread, but they close early and I didn't know, so we went to the second choice on our list - the Greedy Pig.

I must warn you... I took really bad pictures of our food D=

Pulled pork sandwich. Amazing.

Vegetable pot pie.

I thought the pot pie wasn't that great,
but I liked the side salad that came with it, lol.

So far, the restaurants I've eaten at in Gastown did not disappoint.
Can't wait to try Meat & Bread next ^_^

Gastown 2nd round already

After seeing all the different restaurants from walking around in Gastown yesterday, I brought Jackie there to try the food at Al Porto Ristorante, since he's always wanted to try risotto at different places.

The interior was like Pourhouse, too.

It has a little of the historical feel to it.

Yummy seafood risotto =]

I couldn't get a nice picture of the food because of the dim lighting and my crappy camera...

Both Jackie's seafood risotto and my mushroom risotto were really good. And they were not pricey at all. Uh oh... now we may have a restaurant added to our "usual visits list" XP

Pourhouse in Gastown

I was walking around Gastown with my team member because we had to take pictures of sights in Gastown for a school project.
We both got really hungry and just went inside the restaurant that was closest to us.

The restaurant is called Pourhouse.

The interior of the restaurant has that historical Gastown feel, which I thought was neat because the outside and the inside of the streets matched XP.

Spaghetti and meatballs

Mushroom pie...

which looks like a log with grass and moss LOL.

But don't let its looks fool you; it tasted really good =9

We saw many other restaurants as we were walking around, so I'm sure I'll be eating around in Gastown quite often this semester.
