A free day, having decided to ditch today's 6.30am-2.30pm shift in favour of doing something touristy at a more reasonable hour.
The weather, overcast and light rain instead of the cold crisp sunshine over the past week. I had several things on my list of possibles, but no definite plans.
Undecided as to what to do, I received a message from Jackie, who I'd met at uniform collection and who had been on the media team in Düsseldorf with me.
She was planning to head to the Museum of Anthropology at UBC, where the exhibits included a lot of "First Nations" totems and artefacts, with other historical items and would I like to go with her.
I jumped in the shower, got myself dressed and headed to meet her at her hotel not far from mine. A"lyft" was booked and we set off for the 15 minute ride up to the University campus where the museum is.
An amazing array of totems, masks and other items, but after a while museum fatigue sets in.
Jackie had to head back to get ready for shift, so we decided to take 2 separate cars back.
I headed to the Granville Island Public Market, a huge indoor market with loads of food stalls as well as fresh fruit and veg, meat, fish, also packed with people...Well I guess it is Saturday.
I bought a slice of pizza for my lunch, then headed outside to see what else was around. A quick look round a souvenir shop, found another I AM sign and then headed to the little ferry.
It was a short ride for $4 across to the "Aquatic Centre" at the end of Sunset Beach.
A short walk from there back to the hotel, though I first went to the Superstore, to grab a couple of rolls and some more orange juice.
Last shift tomorrow, must remember to collect my closing ceremony ticket for the evening.
