Day 10: Broken Bones

(Kaitlyn's POV)

Today we started by doing our normal thing, hotel breakfast. Recently I've been getting so sick of waffles so I've been eating muffins and danishes. We started by going to the Vancouver Art Gallery and seeing all of the crazy things there. We saw some awesome things like graffiti and awesome illusions that make the art gallery look really cool. Anna was the most amazed at all of it. My favorite was an AMAZING painting of a dog that was this crazy illusion so if you looked at it one way it looked like a young woman but the other way it looked like a puppy dog! I also loved how HUGE the building was! It reminded me of a dirty version of the white house! As we were finishing up, Georgia accidentally tripped and hit a sculpture in the corner of museum that completely broke the leg off. We had to pay a fee of $1500
dollars for that. I thick the scariest part about the whole thing was Anna's scream in the background.

After a while of looking at all of the awesome things in the art gallery, with one exception, we started to get pretty hungry so we decided it was time to eat. For lunch we went to a place called Fritz European Fry House (Indigenous Meal). All the had was a really cool meal called Poutine, an All-Canadian food that was originated in the province of Quebec. Even though we never got to visit Quebec, the poutine was still everywhere we looked. It was fries covered in cheese-curds and topped with gravy. We ordered a huge bucket of those to share. This food reminded me of Gnocchi, it filled me us up so fast that we didn't get to eat all of it. And it was cheap too! It was only $5! After we all finished our very filling meal, it was time for us to head to our next activity for the day!

The next event we had for the day was Hootsuite Inc. (Technology). Hootsuite inc. was a social media workplace. Sydney's cousin lives in Vancouver and actually works there. We didn't see him along the trip but he let us into his building with him and gave us a tour around for a few hours. The inside was REALLY cool! There were tons of computers and different lounges that made it feel like you were sitting out in the woods! The lounge had a huge fireplace and deer antlers that hung as lights from the ceiling. It also had bean bags that were brown like wood and tables that looked like stumps. The rug also complemented it all, looking like it came straight out of a cabin. I could live in there for DAYS! We got really lucky because the lounge was just built about a month ago. I was so amazed at it all. We sat in the lounge for a while and since there was no one there we were allowed to talk. Georgia, Sydney, and Sadhana went exploring while Anna and I stayed in the lounge for a while. Georgia was amazed at how advanced all of the technology there was.

After going to Hootsuite, it was time for dinner. All of us got out our Yelp apps and Anna managed to find a place called Medina. Medina was a brunch-like place that is usually opened until 3pm every day but today for some reason was special and it was open until 8 p.m. for dinner! We all shuffled in and you could smell all of the amazing food as soon as we got in. We were all pretty hungry so we all got the Fricassee. This was a huge brunch meal that had two fried eggs, braised short ribs, caramelized onions, apple-wood smoked cheddar, and seasonal greens with grilled focaccia. We were so full from that that we could barely walk. The food made us all tired so as soon as we got to the hotel at about 8:30 p.m.,
and we ended our day and went straight to sleep.
