i havent been in vancouver for more than 48 hours and already i was beginning to doubt the existence of our nearest star. my fears were put to rest today as the sun finally showed its glorious face. it didnt come out in the full southern california splendor that im usually accustomed to, no it was more of a gentle seductive tease with clouds lingering behind covering just enough but by late afternoon the clouds were tossed to the side and the sun was out.i had just met with dwayne earlier in the morning in the city of new westminster, which is about 40 minutes away from downtown vancouver. dwayne works as an a/v tech for douglas college, which is where we met-up. we chatted a bit and then he showed me around his department and all of his cool audio gear. finally we got to the heart of it: the craigslist comeup. i tested the comtek transmitter, receiver and plugged in dougs ipod for signal; it was all gravy. the deal was done
it was 2:30pm and i was on a different bus this time headed to trew audio. i was looking to make another sound purchase when i saw that the sun was finally out. i quickly looked up the time of sunset and it had it at 5:27pm. i did the math and i had to make a choice: buy another piece of sound gear or get off and hop on another bus in hopes to see a vancouver sunset. it was tough choice.
sounds like im out of control but im not, its just that the canadian dollar is pretty weak right now or is it that the american dollar is strong?i dont know but what i do know is that tomorrow is never promised and if today were to be my last, id like to know that i saw a great sunset.
i ran out of the bus and luckily i was few blocks away from the express 257 bus that sends you north about an 1 hour and 40 something minutes to a neat town called horseshoe bay.
the bus dropped me off in a random turnabout in a residential neighborhood. 2 kilometers of downhill walking later and i finally found what i was looking for.
