Paer deux of the Grand Transit Photo Adventure


#12) Take a picture in a fountain
We found this serene spot to stop for our lunch breach which was also perfect place to complete number 12 on our list.  Thanks to Di and her subtle prompts to read the list carefully before we moved on from this location.  Little did we know that our fountain picture were leave us still talking about it.  Di was to set the timer on my camera and hop into the fountain allowing for a perfect picture of the three of us in a fountain.  Well, I am not sure why Di had to set the camera other than she had slip on shoes so we dubbed her with the responsibility. The part about hopping into the fountain turned into a slip into the fountain and quite the splashing of water.  Lets just say that she had her own personal air cooling happening and that jean jacked stayed firmly knotted around her waist for entire day.  Thanks for taking one for the team Di.

The First ever, Grand Transit-Photo adventure

The morning commenced bright and early with not a cloud to be seen at 7:30, am that is, and one grand adventure in store.  The premiss...3 girls, 3 cameras (well..we had 7 photo capturing devices just to cover our bases), and 3 transit day passes! One grand adventure... the goal, see how far we get or just where we get... take pictures along the way and have a good time!  I can confidently say that we exceeded in all of these categories.

                      Direction unknown
Destination unknown
Duration unknown

Let the games begin.....
 
Caffeine and a snack to kick start our stamina for the day.
And a list of photo challenges to encourage spontaneity.

#13) Change modes of transportation... #21) Head north...
...okay we didn't venture to far north but we make it to Lonsdale Quay Market, via sea bus,  just in time to see the venders setting up their wares for the day.
#33) City scape
Looking back over the city scape into Vancouver framed by wavy mountainish sculpture.
At last the three of us together after a wee hick-up in the morning plans.  Nic what time did you say you wanted to meet in the morning? Who slept through their alarm clock? What ploy where you really planning? Yes it is true, Nichole decided to have a leisure morning and thought 10:20 would be a more decent hour to let the games begin.

#8) 3 back packs


 This day has been a long time in the works and finally we put it into action.  
Stay tuned for part II.
In the mean time check out Nic and Di's recap on the days adventure.  Hurry up ladies where are those posts... update those blogs.
