We did some shopping today in Everett before making our way back into Canada. We decided to try and beat the long border lineups and go to the Aldergrove crossing - oops. We waiting in line for close to 1.5hrs to get back into Canada.
Once we got back I met up with Iain who is a business consultant working with Askew's and we hit the downtown for the evening. He was incredibly gracious as we drank some wine at his place in Yaletown then had dinner and tried to get in the line up to see Sam Roberts at the Yaletown Live Site but there must have been 15,000 people trying to get in there. We crowd surfed for a while and ended up at a bar in Yaletown drinking very over priced drinks.
We caught the awesome fireworks show which started right after the Sam Roberts show. What a spectacular show.
After the show there must have been 250,000 people or more in the downtown area. A hockey game was out, Victory Ceremony got out at BC Place plus thousands of people partying downtown on a Saturday night made for chaos on Transit. I walked from False Creek at the Yaletown Live Site up to Stadium skytrain station but the line up was about 2hrs long so I walked from there down to Main Street station and waited for a short time and crammed myself onto a train. Ted was nice enough to wait up for me and picked me up around 1:30am.
I was supposed to be up at 4am for an early shift, however, I'm not going to make it on Sunday and am taking a day of rest tomorrow.
