On Saturday we headed downtown on the Ctrain to explore the area and to see the shops of 9th Ave S.E.
A Ctrain travelling up 7th Ave, the Bus/Train only street downtown. Above is a +15 Walkway connecting many of the buildings downtown so that you do not have to walk outside in the winter.
We headed into Olympic Park after we got off the Ctrain. There was a Stampede breakfast going on, a tradition during Stampede Week here. It started to rain as we stood in a short lineup and they shut down the grill so we did not get the free breakfast... Oh well, such is luck sometimes.
Olympic Park had some nice hanging baskets of flowers.
Theresa and Sharon pose with the horses at the municipal building. Can you find the differences between these two photos? There are at least 3 of them!

The old city hall with it's sandstone brickwork.
We got lucky and caught a route 1 bus almost right away to take us further down 9th Ave. to the funky shops. This was a cool shop on 9th Ave. S.W. with all the metal works.
Stopping for a picture with the wall of flowers. See Theresa's coffee cup?
Interesting name for a neighbourhood pub.

We started to look for an eatery place and found this ceiling mirrors in a +15 walkway downtown. It made for a different kind of picture.
We were getting hungry and headed to find a restaraunt. In the downtown mall are these escalators which looks like a spooky picture for some reason.
Well, up those escalators we went to Devonian Gardens and the food court on the top floor just outside the gardens.
