Slept in. Walked Davie, ate breakfast on the porch at Hamburger Mary's. We took a taxi to Granville Island where we had severe difficulty finding washrooms that we not closed for cleaning or with an unbearable line, shopped and ate gelato from Bridges. Took a taxi to Hamburger Mary's where I retrieved my credit card which I had forgotten to remove from the payment machine. Nap. Patrick and Tina made reservations for spa treatments for all of us. Dinner at the hotel restaurant Cafe One: crab cakes and butter leaf lettuce salad to share, mushroom ravioli with braised shallots and wild mushrooms, roast chicken for Patrick, grilled sable with mixed grilled vegetables for me. Service was very good, and food quality was excellent. We had a 50% discount on the food portion of the bill by way of Tina's affiliation to the hotel chain. Our finest meal in Vancouver on this trip. Back to the room. Watched broadcast television which included very long commercial breaks: Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) then Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). Television is awful. To bed late.
