We started off the morning with breakfast. Lido has the best bolo bao (菠蘿包) AKA pineapple buns — WITH BUTTER.
Then we drove about an hour+ to Squamish to hike the Stawamus Chief.
The Stawamus Chief is a granite dome located adjacent to the town of Squamish, British Columbia. It towers over 700 m (2,297 ft) above the waters of nearby Howe Sound. It is often claimed to be the “second largest granite monolith in the world”. (Wiki)
Shannon Falls.
It was a strenuous hike, but the view was amazing. The water was a color I had never seen before. These pictures can’t capture the beauty that only exists in my memory now.
Famished, we went to Guu with Garlic for some Japanese tapas:

Richmond Night Market! (They only run in the summertime on weekends) We were lucky to have picked a hotel that was right across the street. So many vendors, so much food!
So. Much. Food.
Mango everything.
