Last night, we went to our first Canadian hockey game. Vancouver Canucks vs. Anaheim Might Ducks...Vancouver won 4-1. The hockey rink where the Olympic hiockey games were held is a 10 minute walk from our apartment (pretty much a 1 minute drive). Well, it was a pre-season game and we figured it'd be pretty empty, so we'll just drive, so we don't have to walk back so late. Uh, can you say traffic?
We drove BACK to our apartment, parked in the garage and decided to walk. I guess hockey really IS a big deal here! Sheesh. This pre-season game was packed!
I got tickets for Melvin's birthday - club seats, row 10. It was pretty cool. Lot of fights!
Speaking of birthdays, we went to a kids birthday party today. We had some amazing Persian food. The basmati rice had this herb called Zaresh (snuck into Canada from Iran!) and it was a perfect complement to lamb kebabs and marinated chicken fresh off the grill. YUM!
Everyone was discussing how the rain "is just beginning"....we are totally nervous about this winter! I hope the mild temperatures compensate for everything...fingers crossed!
