Just so good to groove to. Old stuff - but it doesn't even matter!

Give me a bicycle

Finally I had two days off in a row. All I wanted to do was get out of the city. I had a lovely bike ride out of Vancouver, over the Lions Gate Bridge, through North and West Vancouver! There were no clouds in the sky and from Lions Gate Bridge I could see Mount Baker in Washington. Such a beautiful sight!

Was such a gorgeous day!

That right there is downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park and Lions Gate Bridge to the left of Stanley Park. It was quite the bike ride. I think you may even be able to see Mount Baker to the far left!

All those clouds on the horizon are hiding Vancouver Island.

Can you believe that? It was sunny and I had the day off. Doesn't get much better than that. 

Made a massive pot of lentil soup tonight.

Two carrots, two celery stalks, two cups of lentils, a can of tomatoes, an onion, lots of garlic, spices, herbs, and a bit of leftovers. The pot made around eight servings and hopefully for less than a dollar a serving. I'm trying to eat more cheaply. Still healthy though. This is another thing I'm growing increasingly concerned about. Since I've been working so much I haven't always been able to prepare my lunches. I do my best, but time is only so abundant. I want to stay healthy, in shape, and fit. Mind you, having my body out of commission has definitely put a damper on staying active.

I've also decided to purchase no alcoholic drinks, sweets or clothes (thrift stores included) for two weeks in an attempt to save my hard-earned money for school. Living the life, I tell you. Moving to a city has a lot of expenses. One of which is trying to be social, which more often than not costs money. Well I'm going to do my best.

Future tip though: if one is trying to save money rethink moving to the most expensive city to live in Canada.
