After all of my wandering and the fact that I would soon be up for 24 hours which, was starting to catch up with me. A smile on my face as I was leaving the A-maze-ing Laughter statues, I headed North down Denman St. to find a local coffee shop. YES! In a few short blocks I find this nice little cafe, Delany's with several people outside enjoying the recently new found sun. I thought this would be a great time to relax, take in the local atmosphere, have a new found coffee drink (at least to me); a "Misto" and to check my Rough Guide to Vancouver to see where my feet would lead me next. I decided to head north on Denman St to the north side of downtown along the waterfront. I was running a 10k on Sunday and happened to see the Running Room, the place putting on the event as well as a place I used to work at in Uptown-Minneapolis, MN. I stopped in to find out where the North Vancouver store is located so I could pick up my race Bib. I found the location and was off to enjoy the rest of my day...To the Waterfront!!!
