I hiked the Grouse Grind this Saturday!! It's a trail up Grouse Mountain 1.8 miles long - doesn't sound too difficult right? Well factor in 2830 steps and an elevation of 2800 feet and it's easily the most physically difficult thing I've ever done. Luckily, I went with a great group of people and we helped each other through it.  My legs ached afterwards but it was brilliant.

 This weekend was (another) Vancouver 125th birthday festival, this time with open air concerts and events in Stanley Park. We went for a wander and to see the Vancouver Symphony orchaestra.

The Vancouver photo archive had a stand at the festival, and they had prints of photos from their archive. They reproduced loads of copies of each photo and were giving them away for free! I chose three of the photos I liked and plan to find some antique frames for them.
