021. Epic adventures
I love discovering new parts of Vancouver, or revisiting places and experiencing something entirely new. For example:
Exhibit A: Stanley Park. My friend Kirsten and I decided to get off of campus right after class on Wednesday, since my last assignment was handed in that day (YES!). We got to see pretty trees, flowers and a wonderful memorial for fallen Air Force soldiers. This was all amazing of course, but nothing could prepare me for the awesome, cool Christmas Train! No word of a lie, it was one of the best things ever. There were totem poles, and polar bears, and little elves and snowmen. I felt like I was four years old again. I will always love Christmas, it’s wonderful and magical, and includes awesome beverages like hot chocolate. I also tried Blenz hot chocolate for the first time, and not being a big regular, milk chocolate fan myself, I got the Belgian white chocolate. So amazing. Seriously, I don’t lie about food. (Did you like my sneaky segue there?)
Exhibit B: The Naam. Tonight my dear friend Kirsten (do you see a theme here?) and I went to The Naam, a 24 hour, 7 days a week vegetarian restaurant. It is amazing. Hands down, the best. The Naam nachos are a crazy dance party in your mouth, they’re seriously that good. If you ever have a chance to go to The Naam on W 4th Ave, do it, do it, do it. You won’t regret it.
Coming up this weekend: thrift store shopping on Main St, Granville Island Market and the Christmas Train x 2. Hope everyone has a killer weekend, and studies hard for all their exams!

I’m actually in a Blenz as I write this, trying a white hot chocolate at your suggestion! Soooo good.
Thanks for the great holiday ideas. It looks like you had a ton of fun! Main street does have amazing thrift stores, and actually 4th avenue does as well!
