The month of July has been full of adventures and work. I started a new relationship and have been going on a bunch of adventures with him. The last couple weekends we checked out food festivals.
First was the Surrey Fusion Festival. It was an incredibly nice day out with a breeze that cooled you down even with the sun beating down on us. We got to watch a friend of mine, who's a chef, do a demonstration on how to cook some sort of ribs. Sadly I didn't get to sample them as I'm a vegetarian but they smelt amazing! After that we walked around to try and decide what to eat, with 50 countries represented it was a hard choice. We finally decided on China. My man got chicken Chow Mein and I got a veg egg pancake. Mine was the most interesting thing I've had. It was a cross between an omelette and a pancake with vegetables in it. It was a fun afternoon just walking around and spending time together.

The next weekend we went to the New Westminster Food Truck Festival. We went at 6pm and met up with some of my friends, which might have been the worst time to go as it was super busy and all the lines were ridiculously long. We walked up and down Columbia Street to see all the food trucks before we made a decision on what to get. There were over 100 food trucks and so many options. Being vegetarian my options get a little bit limited but most trucks had at least one option. We both really wanted to go to the Mac and Cheese truck but the line was stupidly long when we were walking back up to it. We watched for a couple minutes and saw that it was moving pretty quickly, so well we debated on whether to wait or not we got in line. We ended up only waiting in line for about 30 minutes and getting our food once ordered in about 5 minutes. Some of our friends that had been there said they waited in line for 30 minutes or more and then had to wait to get there food for another hour. I was not complaining that we got our food so quickly. There was an ice cream vendor that I wanted to go to but I wasn't willing to stand in line again and it wasn't moving at all when we walked by.
The month of July seemed to fly by! I was super lucky to get to spend so much time with my boyfriend and go to these events and enjoy the beautiful weather we have had here in Vancouver! It is the start of August and I have a couple trips planned. I will be going on my first camping trip, which is also our first road trip together.
I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend!
