Friday June 4, 2010

Our final Friday was also spent at SFU selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts. However, we were not able to walk around and sell them as we had done on Thursday. One of our groups that was out selling was approached by a security guard, informed that they were soliciting and that we were the cause of some complaints, and to go back to our table where we had to stay and sell. We were almost in a bit of trouble, but praise God that all they did was reprimand us!
Seeing as we were limited to our selling places, a group headed out to the SkyTrain/city to sell and sell they did! Between the two days, we sold approximately 140 boxes out of 150.
A group of 6 had also set out that morning to try to fix the clutch of a friend’s car that morning but did not have success. The super glue would not stick and they believed that a piece was missing.
At 4:15 PM, we packed up our leftover doughnut boxes and selling tools and began our journey to Kelly and Jeanne’s house. It was only a 10 minute walk to their condo and we were all soon in the lounge area awaiting the Louisiana team and Kelly with the pizzas.
They all soon arrived and we began our supper of pizza, wings, salad, and lattes or mochas. It was delicious! After eating many of us headed outside to explore and enjoy the beautiful weather. We were told a park was near so we set off to find it. Brett, Brian, Marisol, Katie, Amanda, and I were distracted by a spot with a beautiful view and then two playground spring toys that resembled bugs. We spent several minutes riding these intriguing toys and laughing as we watched each other fall off of them.
We finally continued on our way in the supposed direction of the park. Brian, Brett, Marisol, and I walked father than the others and we came upon what we thought were raspberries. We began picking and eating them. Some were delicious and had a taste that resembled blackberries while others were extremely bitter. We picked the bushes clean and then began our trip back seeing as we never found the park.
On our way back, we stopped to pick yellow flowers that were soon woven into head circlets that resembled those from Ancient Grecian times. We placed them on our heads and behind our ears and after taking a few pictures, began on our way again. Several people stared at us curiously as we walked down the street. It was rather entertaining.
We ran into a group headed to the park (and actually knew where they were going) so we joined them. We found the park only to leave 10 minutes or so after arriving because we had buses to catch. We made our way back to the lounge, said goodbye to the Manires and the Louisiana team, and set out for the bus stop. While waiting for the bus we played Frisbee in the street and had to pause every time a car came but enjoyed ourselves nonetheless.
We finished our last work day in Canada. It was very bitter sweet for us all.
