Hello Canada!

As I said, we went to Canada this past weekend for the International Fireworks Competition and Gay Pride. I say if you're gonna celebrate two events, lump 'em together and make a weekend of it. And since I took all of 4 photos this weekend I thought I'd make it a BIG CANADA PHOTO ESSAY! Here is the Roommate and Boytek enjoying their sangria. Dr P didn't have any sangira since he was "the only one NOT driving" home. Dr P certainly can be a witty one.

Dr P (you can tell by the medical cross on his chest, even though it isn't red) saw fireworks of a different nature. Here he is enjoying the deck at a restaurant overlooking the beach.

That Roommate sho do loves the ladies, even ones whose combined height (hair and platform shoes) makes it look like he's standing in a hole. And you just don't see these hairsyles everyday, now do you. They are a dying breed.

Unfortunately the parade was a little on the boring side, should have been called the Pride Yawnfest. The lovely folks at Gillette were giving out ladies razors, which was kind of odd as how many lesbians actually shave? Here is the most interesting float we saw, a drag queen doing his "I Love Lucy" impersonation. Wooowoo, that's entertainment.

Our little group actually had two FANTASTIC meals while there, those being a wonderful tapas meal at Tapastree on Robson St (make sure you have reservations) and the best Indian food at Vij's on Granville (they don't take reservations). Be forewarned about Vij's, we arrived around 9:30 on a Sunday night and were told there would be a 2 hour wait----which I figured would be more like an hour, but actually turned out to be just over 2 hours! The bartender did hand out samples the whole time (as it's bad for business if people perish from hunger in their
lounge) and the service was impeccable, although spendy.

So we had a great weekend and are still trying to recover from the non stop partying. Next time I'll plan on sleeping a little more and drinking a little less.

Or not.
