It was raining in the morning today. I had plan to go to Queen Elizabeth Park with my friends today. So, I worried about the weather. But it's unpredictable weather in Vancouver so I hope that it's gonna be fine in the afternoon. My friends knew about that, so nobody called me to ask to change the plan.
I made sandwiches, and prepared some cookies. When I took a bus it was getting better.
From Robson street we took #15 bus. I didn't put on storng Sun screen, just only SPF30 I really regret that.
I felt strong UV on my skin.
Sunken Garden is so beautiful. Sunken means built or placed at a lower level than the surrounding ground. So you can look down the heights at the garden. I've been here 3times. First...about 6years ago in September,it was my first travell to abroard. Second...this April with my ex-staymate. Third...today July with my friends.
These were different months and seasons so the garden looked different. Different flowers and colors. In spring, color seemed pale and soft. In summer, color seemed vivid.
We had lunch in front of a pond. There were many duck in the pond. They are so cute when thier head in the water and only their rump is showed above the water.
After that we enjoyed sunken garden from the bottom. There is a small fall.
Then We were thirsty so we decided to go to Orkridge. Orkridge is a shopping mall. And we got some drinks. I've tried "Shaked green tea lemonade" at Starbucks. The waiter asked me to add some sweets, but generally drinks are already sweet enough in Vancouver. So I refused his offer. It was a right choice. Shaken green tea lemonade is very refreshing taste. If they have this drink in Japanese Starbucks I recommend you to try one. It's very good in hot summer!
