The week zoomed by quickly with plenty things going on in the lab. Everyone was busy with their own projects. We are all almost reaching the end point of our projects. Praying hard that everything goes smoothly.
On Wednesday, Honda Celebration of Lights, which is a national fireworks competition, was held in English Bay. We took a cruise from Canada Place, went under the Lions Gate Bridge, to English Bay and got to witness the spectacular 25-minute fireworks by Australia. On Saturday, the competitor was the USA represented by the Walt Disney Company. So, the fireworks were accompanied by Disney songs. We watched that fireworks from the Queen Elizabeth Park, which was quite far from English Bay, and parts of the fireworks were covered by trees.

On Sunday, the annual Pride Parade was held in Downtown, celebrating the unique spirit and culture of the LGBTQ2+ community. It was a pretty loud and fun parade. I enjoyed myself very much and we got loads of freebies!
Monday was British Columbia Day. So, we had a long weekend. We went to Steveston for Pajo's fish and chips which was really good, but the line-up was crazy - almost an hour long! In the evening, we went to a Vancouver summer event called Theatre Under the Stars in Stanley Park. We watched Beauty and the Beast. It was an impressive Broadway show with live orchestra.

That pretty much sums up our week. Can't wait for the Rockies trip next weekend!
