Vancouver

After spending a night camping in a trailer park on the north end of Lion's Gate, we decided to roll for a couple of nights at a nice hotel. Vancouver is great..if you like cities. Seriously, the vibe is San Francisco + NYC with plenty of Canadian thrown in. Walking the streets here in the central neighborhood on Robson is like running the gauntlet. but, we have high speed here, so I'm posting lots of pics. enjoy.

Here is a pic of a small "iceberg" below the Angel Glacier





And here a photo of the ochre beds, afore mentioned.




And a picture of post boxes and a rubbish bin, all bear-proofed. Of course, you couldn't prove it by us; so far our wildlife inventory consists of blue grouse, shabby deer, tame ravens and the folks I just saw down on Robson Street.






Here is a pic of our trailer park , followed by a photo taken from the balcony of our hotel. What a difference a few $ makes. I might mention here that the exchange rate, once quite favorable, has diminished now to where a dollar is a dollar..or as they call it here, a "Loonie".













Here are a couple of photos Nancy took at the Vancouver aquarium. An excellent aquarium, rivalling the one in Monterey, California.











Finally, for now at least, a night photo of a nearby club, where they offer pole dancing classes upstairs. Adios, Pilates; welcome, Pole-lates.
