Yesterday Carole and I celebrated our 6th anniversary with an afternoon cruise from Coal Harbour, through the 2nd narrows, past Deep Cove, and up Indian Arm. It was a beautiful day, and despite a sunburn, I couldn't have had a better time. The area is rich with history, yet largely pristine, unpopulated, and untouched by mankind. It's awesome to see that despite many failed plans to open up the area with a highway, parklands, and tourist stops, a place that's so close to home (as the bird flies, maybe only 10km from where we live) is still a completely natural and practically 'unreachable' setting.
On the cruise, we enjoyed a great salmon dinner, and a couple of tantalizing libations. After returning to the port, we grabbed a couple of Dolce Vita Gelatto's and walked through all the awesome new park lands at Coal Harbour. We then took a detour through North Vancouver on the way home, and checked out the new Village at Park Royal Mall. We didn't get to go in, but wow - that's a cool looking place!
In the evening, I made a nice beef srirfry, and we watched a movie.
All in all, it was a nice, relaxing way to celebrate six years of marriage (and 10 years together!).
PS - it looks like summer's in full swing now! Has been 25 to 28 degrees every day last week, and is supposed to be 28 and above everyday this week! Too bad I'm working too much to fully enjoy it...
