================

Woke up early as it has now become a habit. :)

Tried calling up Eva, she picked up the second time around and was not able to hear, hear a loud squeaking sound behind her. Will have to call her latter.

by 11:30 planning on going to Tara place and then from there to peace valley. 4 hrs to kill till then, might as well start with vacuuming and cleaning up the house.

Finished vacuuming and then called up E and got her on board the train to Delhi. She left her ex-room mate who is going back home via nepal and tibet back to China.

Was not able to hear eva clearly most of the time as the people besides them were talking too loudly and I could hear them speak more clearly than eva. It sounded like a Husband and Wife talk, where the wife was saying something rather ordering and the husband was coming up with a hundered different excuses. hehehe

11:30 reached taras house, and from there the we went to Peace Valley. We rented a kayak for an hour and to my surprise I did not feel scared or any kind of anxiety. We paddled around half of the Peace valley lake. It was so peacefull and beautiful. Loved it, it was more like Deer lake in Burnaby. :)
But the water and surrounding seemed to be more well maintained than Deer lake. To top it all in the sun there was a very pleasant breeeze and wind blowing. Loved it there.

After that we went for a hike partially around the lake.

On our way back, we went and had lunch at Zoto's. cute lil place mostly suburban white folks and workers.

Got back to Taras place a bit exhausted. Got my stuff into my car and then got back home. Dropped off my new bag and then went straight to Costco to get my box of Ice cream cones. :)

Returned back home and had an urge to have a cool fruit smoothie... made one and now writing the blog sipping in the smoothie... yummmm and refreshing.
