I am the luckiest person ever!!! The icing on the cake that was another great day in this beautiful city was a free taxi home after the theatre tonight.
Our day began watching the rain fall outside the windows of the 27th floor.....not looking so good at that point....but by the time we were down to the road and on our way again the sun was shining and not a raindrop in sight. :-)
First stop was probably the nicest Starbucks I've ever seen....it was huge in comparison to most with a new park right outside the doors. And of course....the macchiato was brewed to perfection again.
From there we were off to do a little shopping. We both had a little luck in that department (well, Carolyn had a little more than me).....
Back to shower and prep for the theatre - Carolyn's condo is in such a perfect location!!
Tried to go to Fiddlehead Joe's for dinner but unfortunately Monday is the day they close in the off season so a quick change of plans took us to the Back Stage Pub on Granville Island for drinks, dinner and a great view of a rainbow over the city scape (including Carolyn's condo).
The play was the History Boys and boy are we proud of all of those boys for getting into Oxford!! :) Seriously though....what a great play. Very clever with loads of thought provoking script about timeless issues. The set changes were brilliant, the performances were fabulous and the venue was perfect. There was a scene near the end of the play where the boys all sing Bye Bye Blackbird acapella that brought tears to my eyes.
After the play we queued up for a cab and as luck would have it the people right in front of us in the line up were also going to Yaletown area so we shared a cab and they wouldn't let us pay for it at all....they were in Vancouver for their son's wedding. They live in Toronto and wanted us to know that some people from Ontario are really very nice...and these ones definitely were.
All in all.....another great day in the city :)
