Vancouver - in pictures

Our first stop was Granville Island. It's a really artsy fartsy district. Lots of galleries and eateries. Huge market with all kinds of foods. We sampled a sugar brioche and a macaron pastry (not to be confused with coconut macaroons). We also tried Roger's famous chocolate creams. Yum! It was a fun place to poke around though not quite what I had expected.

Next we rode the Sea Bus to North Vancouver.

There were a couple of cruise ships in port.

We got a really good view of the Vancouver skyline.

After wandering around the markets in North Vancouver we made our way to Stanley Park (the Central Park of Vancouver). We rented a tandem bike and rode around the sea wall. It was beautiful and exhilirating! We stopped to see the totem poles.


We admired the view of the suspension bridge.

We watched the sea planes coming and going.

After returning the bike, we walked around a bit more in Stanley Park. We visited the Aboriginal Village and watched a master carver.

We also saw a man and woman in traditional dress.

We admired the gorgeous flower beds!

Everything was very green!

We really enjoyed ourselves (and wore ourselves out!)
