took my first taxi since before the pandemic…
arranged ahead of time for a pickup to go downtown, and then walked to the Delta to get another one to come home…
had to go in and ask the concierge to call for one… I guess with less people downtown the taxis don’t sit outside the hotels all the time…
wore my mask for both trips and so did they…

this afternoon I headed over to Graham Avenue to get my contacts checked…
been wearing a few different test lenses for about two weeks and have been very pleased with the improvement in my vision…
with the last contacts I had, I never did get good vision for close up items and long distance wasn’t that great either… I had concluded that glasses were going to be my best option…
she experimented with a different contact and I had to wait a few minutes for it to settle onto my eye…
as I left, got this picture of one of the pop-up parks…
looking forward to the new lenses and better vision…
sadly it is back to glasses as I wait for the new ones to arrive…

Assiniboine Park Zoo, big girl pants, downtown, fun, Manyfest, Pokémon, soccer, widow
picked up by the kids and went to Pokemon Day at the Zoo... there were lures set up at all the PokéStops…
great fun to see people of all ages playing throughout the area… got my picture taken with two of the Pokemon trainers…
they didn’t mind taking a photo with me and the kids thought it was hysterical…
from there we went to Grant Park Soccer Fields where the middle guy played his two final games of the year…
that’s our guy on the left…
this shot even has the ball in the air, pretty cool…
to top off the day we went downtown to Manyfest… way too many people for me… the food truck lines were crazy… eventually, after spending a long time in food lines, we ended at the shaved ice truck….
there were a lot of flavours to choose from…
sure looked pretty… and I think that every drop was eaten up…
going to bed now, that was a busy day…
