Day 61 Wednesday 1st June 2011
Pretty much another censored day apart from a brief visit to the Richmond Center Shopping Mall to get a few luxuries and essentials like bottles of booze all topped off with a meal at the Foggy Dew Irish pub opposite the hotel where the menu had, amongst other things, “traditional Irish Nachos”. Can’t say that I have ever encountered this dish on any visit to the Emerald Isle and the Irish Soda Bread was nothing remotely approaching soda bread but otherwise the meal was wholesome and appetising.
We also watched game one of the Stanley Cup Final between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins. For the uninitiated, the Stanley Cup is the ultimate prize for professional ice hockey and it has been several years since Vancouver has held the honour of winning the cup. The final is played over a number of games (maximum 7) at each of the teams’ home stadia. The first two games (tonight and then Saturday) are being held at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver. It was a nail biter with Vancouver scoring the winning goal just 19 seconds before the end of the game – as you can imagine the locals were more than happy with this result.
