Vancouver


 On our final day of our Northwest adventure we headed to Vancouver and the sites were breathtaking.  We had no idea what to expect, so we rented a car and headed north.  After somehow finding our way downtown we found a "Big Pink", a double decker tour bus.  The traffic was terrible because it was Happy BC day! We climbed on board and away we went through Stanley Park finding our way to Granville Island. We got off the bus and took a ferry over to the island for a scenic lunch.  It was probably around 65-70 degrees dressed for a fall afternoon while all the locals were in swimsuits.  After lunch we walked around the island just hanging out.  I wish we had a lot more time in Vancouver.  We ended up sending so much time on the island that we barely made the bus back to our car and we didn't finish the tour.  We had the tour route, so we decided to finish the tour ourselves going by the opening ceremony of the Olympics and the Vancouver Canucks arena.
