Hey everyone,
Sorry to say this but I ended up not going to Nanaimo on Sunday. :( The boat that picks people up at the bottom of the King Swing was broken and timing just wasn't working out. Would love to do it another time. Maybe in the summer when the weather is just gorgeous. Will be more people tho at that time but meh.
Instead of going to Nanaimo I went for a bike ride. In total it was 55km. The weather was great. 12 degrees, blue skys, and big bright sun. Went along arbutus, royal oak, interurban, the observatory, goose to downtown, dallas, and beach drive. It was a lovely ride. Got cold at the end tho. I wished I could have gotten out sooner to enjoy even more of it. Next weekend maybe.
I went out to Pagliacci's on Monday. Man I love their bread. So yummy. Crispy, flavourful, and oily. They had some live music this time again. Celtic, bluegrass type. They are really good. Saw them the last time I was there too. But they were missing the fiddler the other night.
I've started to test around with some wines. Had a Riesling the other night. 02 on the sweetness scale. It was quite nice. I went to a dinner on Friday and brought one with me. Felt kinda bad because it was sweet. But went well with the food, stuffed oven baked squash. Oh Kelsey you know how to cook. yum Yum. She made roasted yam slices too!!
Ok so here is something big. I am starting to look into this group call, 'The Ride to Conquer Cancer'. They ride once a year in order to raise money for the BC Cancer Society. It starts in Vancouver and runs for two days down to Seattle. You sleep in tents with all the other riders. Have pit stops along the way with bathroom, food, and drinks. It looks like a really cool thing to do and I have enough time to prepare for it. It takes place in June. So I was checking out their website. Just looking around and then noticed one thing. In order to ride, I have to raise a minimum of $2500 in donations for the society. Wow! That took me back for a moment. It is a lot of money. Last time I fundraised for a Triathlon I got $200. This is a lot more. But maybe I can do it. Would be a challange for me. And until I get that amount it is not for sure that I can go. Great motivation to keep me searching and asking people. So I am going to think about it for a bit.
Would any of you be interested in sponoring me for the Ride to Conquer Cancer?

Pagliacci has live music?
I can haz live music AND spaghetti nao?!?!
I wonder why they picked celtic music for a place like that, but whatever :)
They must have had to remove 2 tables for musicians, I bet that broke their heart but then again there is still some room left by the sink in the washroom. ;p
Ha ha ha. You don't know how right you are. They had the tables on an angle to fit more but then the band arrived and we all had to shift and move the tables down, away from the band to give them space. It was quite tight but the music was great though and the company was even better.
I love that place... Too bad (or thank god) I discovered it too late into my residence on the Island.. But I can see how space is an issue there...
