On Sunday, August 13th Wilfred, Kevin K. and I participated in the
MS Bike Tour. This year we did the short route (30km) instead of the usual 60km ride. It was nice to actually have other riders around us. :-) I think each time I've done the long ride - I've always managed to get lost in the Queen E. park area and end up finishing hours later. After a nice 3 hour ride we finished at Science World and congratulated each other on another successful event. Kevin has recently returned from a visit to Japan and all the talk about Japanese food made me crave it. We went to Gyoza King on Robson Street for lunch. The food was good and I've never been therefore too so it was even better.
While purusing the streets of Robson on a hot sunday afternoon - I couldn't help but walk pass the Lululemon store. To my delight Lululemon has purchased their own spokesbear. So infront of the store is one of the famous bear sculptures that you see litered across the downtown area. The Lulubear is wearing a classic yoga outfit. I couldn't help but be a tourist so I made the boys stop and take a picture of the bear and me. Because I got to indulge in my bear fun - we made a stop off at the Vancouver library for Wilfred's curiosity. That library is gorgeous. I would have loved to take some pictures of it's structure. But my camera's battery was almost dead and I wanted to conserve whatever power I had left incase I ran into a movie star on the way back to the car!

Sounds like it was fun. Wish i could've made it to the tour with you there Kim. I missed out. :?(
BTW they're called Spirit Bears and they're all over Greater Vancouver. There's actually a map of all the bears. It would be quite a challenge to visit each bear. http://www.spiritbearsinthecity.com/index.php/content/gallery-vancouver.html
Aww, I wish I could have been there too! Last year was so much fun and I know I could definitely use the exercise. Glad you had a good time and that you didn't get "lost" this time :P.
