Day Off

We had no events today so we decided to walk around in the beautiful weather before it starts raining on Wednesday.  We started walking towards the water (I think it is called False Creek) and then we stopped at Tim Horton's for a quick snack.  Walking down all the streets we saw street preformers everywhere.  We stopped to watch a bunch of teenagers jumping rope and raising money for a competition.
Walking through Yaletown we stopped in some shops and got a few little momentos.  Closer to False Creek we stopped at Plaza of Nations where they had tents with vendors set up with some unique gifts. 
Across False Creek is the Olympic Village where most of the Olympians stay.
On the bank of the water rocks are all stacked up like statues.  You could walk right up to them and stack some too.  It was really cool.
Then while walking we stumble upon:
Of course we went in and lost $30.
We walked around almost 4 hours and there is always more to see.  The city is great!
