To much of a good thing.

O.K so I was up bright and early and out the door this morning to start seeing some of the attractions on my card. First stop was an observation deck which was very cool except for the glass elevator yikes!! Unfortunately you can really take photos cause the angle of the glass but still very cool. Second stop was the Art Gallery which was also very nifty, the highlight being the Rodin exhibition which included the thinker which I liked very much (Just for most of you who don't know even though I'm onto the arts I don't actually like most of it.) I did wonder though why does the thinker have 6 toes on each foot? Some one needs to look that up and get back to me cause it's going to annoy me. Anyway his work is very nice and well worth seeing if you happen to have the chance. Other than one other thing I though the rest was crap including Emily Carr who is some famous local (dead) artist who has a permanent exhibition at the gallery. It's funny really how they where talking about how her paintings became abstract in the latter part of her life. Like of course it didn't have anything to do with the fact that she had suffered 2 strokes and 3 heart attacks!! Anyway the other thing I did like where these sculptures which used the same principles as drawing with perspective which of course means that is you view the sculpture from the right angle it looks really awesome but when you move around it it's all wack with huge arms or feet or whatever.
O.K so after the gallery and some lunch I headed up to Stanly Park and jumped on this tour ship of the bay which was just dumb!! O.K I say there is nothing like a tour of the industries in the harbor. Fun on a bun!! Anyway after and hour of that I got of the boat with a cracking head ache (to much sun me thinks) so I decided to cancel the rest of the day and head back to the hotel. At the moment it's about 3:30 so I'm thinking I might go catch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory later which is on at the IMAX and leave the rest of Stanly Park for another day. Oh although on the way back to the Y I have to swing past Seymour St again. I passed through there about 10 this morning and they where setting up a movie shoot so I might see if they are still there, fingers crossed. I also found some promising gifts for those of you who they will be bestowed upon, although I'm defiantly not going as insane as last time.
Oh yeah and before I go I found a picnic bar except there called Mr Big lol.
