... and headed out the backside of the mall to discover a jazz festival! Though the singer we heard was pretty good, the set in itself was a little bland and we lost interest.
Though we had hoped to go the zoo, we missed the last bus out there, so we headed back to the hotel in defeat. After a few hours recharching and napping, we decided to strike out and the beer festival we had heard so much about. We found it ...
... been to. Unlike our small hotel showers, however, this bath had a sauna. I've been to several saunas, especially when I was Sweden. I enjoy them usually, but this bad boy was in a league of its own. The thermometer on the inside ready 90 degrees. Celsius. That's a balmy 195+ degrees Fahrenheit.

I roamed around as a vagabond with my bicycle, carrying a small camera, and a stand behind my back. Professional ...
Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan dropletsofink... the top of Grouse Mountain in Vancouver and gazing down at the city. It was quite breathtaking (unfortunately, my nighttime pictures did not turn out as well as I hoped they would). I'm starting to fall in love with Sapporo.

Sapporo, Japan schwinkle... no-suit/tie" mode. He was in a very handsome turtleneck, and instantly ready to join us on our adventures. This proved to be a gracious stroke of luck on our part. We took the subway to the final stop on the line, and then a cab up to the Park. We were a ways out, and the countryside was beautiful and the park was perfectly manicured.
