I started out my day with a sky train ride over to the Science World stop - I had gone there the day before and toured the Science World pavilion. It was kind of disappointing... the highlight was an Imax presentation about the Lemmings of Madagascar which was fun. Other than that, a lot of displays for younger kids to learn a bit about the wheres and whys of what's happening in the world around them.. After leaving Science world, I decided to stroll down Main street which becomes the entry to China Town.
It had been an interesting walk so I decided to load up my camera yesterday and re-trace my walk from the day before. It's an interesting area and the outskirts of China town happens to be the area of the city that is where the homeless, the wayward, the druggies etc hang out. I took pics in China town but thought better of it in the other areas.. some of the people just didn't look like they would appreciate having their photos taken.
My path found it's way back into the central area of Vancouver near the Vancouver Art Gallery. I had planned to wander thru the gallery and once again, I was a bit disappointed with the product. Talking with Julie about it later, we decided that we have been spoiled by visiting the Art Galleries in Chicago and the wonderful one in Minneapolis. Oh well - I knew there was a Chapters just around the corner.
After a half hour in Chapters and I actually didn't buy anyghing, I jumped onto the sky train and headed back to New Westminster. It was getting late in the afternoon and I had been thinking about trying to find a venue to watch the Pacquiao vs Mayweather boxing match.. I managed to squeeze a seat into the crowd at the Paddlewheel bar and got to see the fight for the price of a couple of beers.
I was cheering for Manny but unfortunately, Floyd proved to be the better fighter on this night. It's hard to feel sorry for Manny though as he earned in the neighborhood of $120 Million for coming in second....
A busy day... diverse... fun..
Life is Good....
