Today we went to "Italy on the Drive," which was an Italian festival on Commercial Drive downtown. We went with some good friends of ours, including a Brazilian couple that we've met here, and had a great time. It rained later in the day (no surprise, it rains almost every day), but we were able to see a lot of booths, listen to music (oddly enough, it was mostly Jamaican music), and eat some great Italian food while we were there.

Eating at Lombardo's

Enjoying pizza and pasta (margherita con prosciutto and gnocchi al pesto)

The cook and his wood-fired brick oven. He looks a bit intense in this pic, but his pizza was really good.

The streets were packed

I love this little vintage Fiat
