Vancouver



Ahh, May Long Weekend was awesome. Friday at lunch time Josh, Koke and I headed out to the coast. We made alright time and only got one speeding ticket. On Saturday after morning yoga we walked around Granville and feasted on some smoked salmon. The afternoon was spent kayaking in Deep Cove. There was a light breeze but no rain so we stayed relatively dry. Afterwards we all went to Sushi Town and had some great inexpensive sushi. Sunday was spent lying about and eating until we left at midnight. 48 hours in the big coastal city. Luckily the majority of the highway from Vancouver to Kamloops is lit by streetlights so it isn't tiresome on the eyes. All in all it was a satisfying weekend.

Annapurna Trek Part 2

The Summit of Thorung La! This was defiantly one of the highlights of the entire trek. The rarified air making it hard to breathe, the crystal clear blue sky, it wasn't even overly windy or cold.

Here is a poorly edited video of the first few days approaching Thorung La. Notice the heavy breathing in Thorung Phedi. I had been resting for an hour after hiking already!
