Did you like my newest story? I do! Also, I had to get a new passport. Well, actually, everyone but Gloria did. So, we went to Downtown Vancouver. Oh yeah, if you want a summary of the adventure, go to Gloria&#8217;s Blog. Here is my <em>journey<\/em>:<br \/>\nI took a Skytrain to Waterfront, then we &#8220;arrived&#8221; at Sinclair Centre, which I don&#8217;t like, cause it&#8217;s a big, empty space. And I found a tiny washroom to make myself feel better.  .  . no details to that! Anyway, after the washroom incident, we looked at a very colourful map and we found the passport place which is called &#8220;Passport Canada&#8221;. We did the things we needed to do (you know, show the passport information, pictures, etc. Oh yeah, and.  .  .  ), then we got our &#8220;ticket&#8221; and we sat in the rows of chairs and.  .  .   we waited for 45 minutes, I think. Good thing I brought books, and my mom had the DS. Then we went to get the passport stuff. And I said I wanted to go home, BUT.  .  .  .that was only the beginning of a memorable journey.<br \/>\nWe went near the Seawall! Okay, not a big accomplishment but still! And then we saw the 5 flag thingy, and a huge ship (to me, anyway). Then we go attracted to some art. Which I think is the Vancouver University of Art or something. We saw a statue made from sand (the sand statue was a picture of the sea underwater) and a &#8220;digital orca whale&#8221;! It was made out of black and white blocks. And some grey ones. Oh, and I saw the exterior Olympic torch lighting place. When you look closely, though, the &#8220;ice&#8221; it seems to be made out of, is actually glass with &#8220;cracks&#8221;. My mom told me that the torch thingy lights up at night. I knew that because at the bottom of each ice\/glass thingy, there is a light. One of the torch thing that I saw was fuchsia-coloured. And on the other side of the place was a blue raindrop shaped <em>thing.<\/em> After, we got hungry, so we went to Waterfront Centre. We checked out some cool things and a hotel connected to it. Then we finally got to the food court. We could&#8217;ve chose anything in the food court, but we chose Tim Hortons. My mom chose a Ham Swiss sandwich combo, which included a doughnut and a drink. My mom chose brown, toasted bread and coffee with no sugar, just cream. The doughnut was for Gloria, who chose a chocolate one with coconut pieces. She also got apple juice. I then got a Canadian Maple, which is like a holeless doughnut with cream instead of a hole, and maple frosting on top. Delicious! Just in case we were hungry after, I bought 10 Timbits. Then.  .  .  .<br \/>\nWe went to the Skytrain station and we went home. On one line, Gloria and I got to sit at the beginning! But it was too loud, so I resumed my old seat. When we got to the &#8216;Brentwood Town Centre &#8216;station, we started walking home. Near the mall, it was hotter, so we went in the mall. Inside, my mom sat down with the I-pod Touch, so Gloria and I checked out the kittens. I even saw one fart!:P Then we finally headed home. when we got home, I found out I had a welt-like thing on my heel! I must&#8217;ve walked too much.<br \/>\nThen for dessert, I had the Timbits.
