Getting Out Of The City....

One of my favourite things to do is get out of the city and the hustle of it, leave the noise behind, and just enjoy nature.  It’s pretty awesome that we are able to do just that within the city during the week as well.  Last night a group of almost 20 of us, ignored the rain clouds and headed to Deer Lake in Burnaby to do just that.  Situated low in the city, surrounded by highways and high rises, this lake is the ultimate inner city getaway.  Last night we even had some friendly ducks swim along with our boats, even a scary moment for one as they flew overhead and almost right into one member... talk about being close to nature...  Yes, there were some dark clouds, and we did get rained on, but as always those clouds break and out comes the sunshine.  Not too much of it but just enough to brighten the sky as we headed in and to a nearby pub, for some drinks, more conversation and much needed nourishment, after our hour and a half paddle.  Sure we tend to gather in the same little area of the lake and chat about all kinds of things, laugh and enjoy the sights, but there certainly is a little exercise happening.  It’s a great place to chill with great company on any day and last night certainly didn’t disappoint.  If you haven’t come out with us yet, join us next month when we head out on the water!! Hope to see you all there! Events And Adventures Vancouver
