VANCOUVER, BC SCIENCE MARCH
Parental Discretion Advised
When in Canada, do as the Canadians do! :o)
We jumped right into this with thousands of others. It's the least we could do for Earth Day on April 22 and for Science! You will see that the Canadians aren't too happy with our POTUS policies either. I will try to refrain from too much commentary on the grounds it might incriminate me :o) The photos speak for themselves.
Remember the Pussy Hats for the world women's march?
Meet the Cranium Brain Hat! Lovingly made by a cognitive scientist near you!
Employees from the Vancouver Aquarium with their jellyfish umbrellas
Elements from the periodic table arranged to reflect the latest discovery
The protest marched all through the downtown area
Our final destination - Science World British Columbia
Dragon Boat Racing
As we approached Science World we noticed this kick-ass dragon boat team out training in False Creek. Looks like their festival is about to happen.

Solar Powered Motorcycle :o)
Catfe'
Our friend Kim was with us for the march and decided we needed to go to the Catfe' for lunch. We tried, but they were all booked up for lunch :o( We really wanted to go because you get to sit and have lunch in a roomful of adoptable cats. You can pick them up, pet and love them and then, if you'd like to, adopt one right on the spot! What a fabulous idea!

We ended up eating at a great Japanese place instead. Here is a video of the bonito flakes coming alive on top of Rowan's hot pot stickers. It was completely entertaining and delicious. We really tried not to get all excited about it and cause a scene. HA!
These last two photos get right to the point.............
Found this double mastectomy tattoo shocker in a storefront window. WOW!
I COULDN'T RESIST BECAUSE I MUST RESIST! SILENCE = DEATH
The guy behind me in the red/black jacket told us that he had been watching people do this all day and that it happens all the time. We also learned that this hotel just opened up a few weeks ago and the event was met with YUGE protest.
UGH! It is so hard to be an American right now! UGH!
Our journey home starts in our next post.........should we go?
