NOTES
  • Felt mildly tired today...not sure if sick or just stress/lack of sleep catching up to me
  • Rode Vancouver bus (TransLink) twice, using our Compass cards
  • Tap and pay very popular
  • Chocolate covered brownie: brownie core, one side had chocolate truffle filling, with a hard chocolate shell...very good after a long walk
  • Stanley Park
    • Clear water and blue hues to surroundings along seawall
    • Saw the Siwash Rock, a great blue heron, raccoons, Teahouse Restaurant, a cruise ship, rowers in racing shells, and--after sunset--the Lions Gate bridge, the Lumberman's Arch, the 9 O'Clock Gun, the lighthouse, the Girl in Wetsuit Statue, RMS Empress of Japan masthead, the HMCS Discovery building, and the Vancouver Rowing Club building
  • Called Toyota Vacaville as no word on car status...left info and later in the day received text requesting approval to text me...so I'm getting some kind of texts
  • Realized SMS texts not going through due to lack of US cellular network...installed Google Hangouts Dialer app which I think also allows me to send SMS via Google Voice...works great
