Had dinner this evening in a Phillipino restaurant here in Vancouver called Pin Pin. Great food for very cheap. My Phillipino language skills are coming along nicely. Afterwards we went down to the beach on UBC campus. It was high tide. The area of the beach where we went was more gravel rocks than sand. Every time a wave came in and receded you could hear the gentle sound of rocks rolling against each other as the sun set in a line on the ocean directly in front of you. Never heard that sound before.
