Sarah and I left the house early (she even sacrificed precious cartoon-watching time!) to see the parade at its 9am start, first from inside a coffee shop, then at the curb. Sarah took photos during the parade; I stood back on the sidewalk so I didn't block the view too much with my tall self. I later found she'd taken about 600 pictures, about one every 10 seconds of the parade! (Later we'll edit what she took and perhaps post some.)
Much of Hastings Street, our neighbourhood's thoroughfare, was closed to traffic for the parade and much of the rest of the day.
We wandered and visited some shops (including a comic book store!). Later we met up with Margo. Then it was time for Sarah to queue up for her bike race, Il Girolino di Burnaby.
The race began with a dash around part of the closed-off street on the way to retrieve bikes.
Then there were a few laps around the course on bikes. At the end Sarah was quite tired.
