After a long day of traveling across four time zones, Chuck and I arrived at the Canada border on the day of the government shutdown. It was rainy, but we didn’t care. Our anniversary vacation was underway and despite Chuck’s impending furlough we were grateful anyway.
Vancouver is beautiful. Surrounded by water, trees, and altitude, the city is a haven for outdoorsmen. (It was the home of the 2010 Winter Olympics.) We drove to Whistler, explored Shannon Falls, walked the perimeter of Stanley Park, and ate well at the Granville Public Market. Â In addition to English, nearly everything was written in French and Mandarin. In one city, you could visit the entire world.
Very beautiful. We are headed there next June.
Gorgeous! Please tell me you found the initials already carved in the tree. Great shots and I can’t wait to see the others! The high rises make me miss the big city…
Yes, Meredith, the initials were already there. We wouldn’t have carved into a tree but we thought that was pretty cool. Of course, Chuck was all, “I had that done for you,” and I’m all, “Sure you did.” 🙂
