After checking out the city from above, we took to the streets to search for food! What better place to search than along Stephen Avenue Walk, a pedestrian mall filled with restaurants and shops of all kinds!

Along the way we saw these "truckboards". These are like billboards on semi-trailers. The ads are wrapped around appearing on both sides and on the end. What a creative way to advertise. I especially liked the one for pools!
