other side

It was another mild day in Vancouver. The day was pretty much wrapped up with work, but I managed to get out early in the day for a stroll along the other side of the "island" (it isnt't) before spending the rest of the day and night inside. More and more Olympic crew are becoming visible, as well as plenty of last minute construction. The stroll through the neighborhood away from commercial businesses and development was nice too - almost strange how only a couple blocks away puts you into a quaint old neighborhood. As the free days dwindle before I begin my Olympic work, I have to confess to feeling like I haven't done or seen much, but I guess even having a bit of groundwork of the city is a nice and comfortable advantage to have. Even just the change of scenery has made for a bit of a nice mental break.
