As were walked along the Thames, we noticed statues on tops of buildings. Turns out that these are a precursor to an exhibit opening at the Hayward. Thank goodness for Louisa and Google!

Hello from rainy London

Very strange to be typing on a keybroad with a slightly different layout. i've been in London for a week and have made the rounds. Today is a very raining day and I'm spending it in an internet cafe trying to upload pictures onto Flickr. So check my site, and hopefully there will be pictures. Detail will have to follow.
Cheers!

1 day until Holiday

I'm packed and ready to go. It is a long time coming as I've been saying that I'm going to visit Stacey in London for several years. Well, I'm keeping my word. I've managed to save a little for shopping too. Not much in London, as the exchange is insane. I'm saving my funds for Paris. I'll try to post lots of pictures while I'm away, but I'm unsure how the connection will be between my camera and computers in UK.

I'll definitely blog while I'm there. Cheerio!

Lady of leisure

Well, not entirely my choice. Suggestion by the bf since I'm leaving for holiday on Thursday. Since Tuesday of last week, my ankle/foot has been hurting. It doesn't seem to get worse, nor better. So, this week, I've hunkered down and tried to relax. I escaped twice for a little bit of fresh air, only to run a couple of errands.

I'm nervously watching the third period of the Canucks v. Ducks game; and the Ducks just scored the go-ahead goal. Gunnar and I brainstormed my ability to follow the Canucks while I'm abroad. It will be near impossible to catch live games b/c time change, means the games start between 1-3 in the morning.

Less than 5 minutes left, and I must focus. Sending good vibes to the boys. Go Canucks!

What a game 7

It has been a stressful few days since the boys won game 5. After dropping the next two games, I admit, I was concerned. Seriously. Luckily, we have Luongo. Amazing goalie to watch. After a couple of close calls and 2 empty netters - Game Over for the big D. Sorry Modano. A cross bar away (feels good to be on the other side, remember 94 and Lafayette?).

So, I'm a bit stressed to think that I'll miss games while abroad. However, I missed games here (not televised on East Coast), so at least I'm distracted with vacation activities.

I'm thrilled (with several other millions of 'Nuckle heads) with their advancement to the second round. Bring on the Ducks! Here are some great pictures of the boys, pulled from http://www.theprovince.com/. I told you, Linden is the man!

Linden is the Man!

Let me say, I love Trevor Linden. I LOVE him.

Sadly, the game was not shown out here, so I didn't get to watch it. Sounds like I didn't miss much scoring, but I watched highlights of Linden's goal. I wish I were in Vancouver with all the other Nuck'le heads, rooting for the guys. The city will be buzzing on Thursday.
All I can hope for is that the game is on TV. If there is a god...
Go Canucks!!!
