Walking Group 08 Sep

Today Virginia, Therese & me (Laurette) went on out walk. Therese decided to drive us to Science world instead of taking a bus/skytrain. This would suit her well when we finished our walk as she lives not far from the area & instead of coming back to the centre.
We decided to do the walk on the Vancouver community web site which has a list of walks. This one was one of the 2010 Olympic walks. Well I had the brochure & we followed it as best we could but came to a barricaded area due to a crane & work being done. So we detoured & came upon the dedication to Terry Fox near Gate A at BC Place.
After our walk we went for lunch on Main st at subway & then Therese went home. It was early so Virginia & I went to Metrotown & as well went to see the Dinosaurs. After walking all over, took a coffee break & we set off for home tired.
Scroll down for info & pictures.
