Vancouver: Here We Come!

Here we are, just about to hop on the Sky Train to head down to the center of Vancouver.   We are staying at a suburb called Richmond.   It is out near the airport.   We figured this would be convenient for getting to our Winnipeg flight on Wednesday morning.   When we got here the sun was trying its best to peek out, so we just headed to do some exploring.

First stop was Stanley Park.  Even though it was sort of cold and windy, there were no raindrops! Totem poles are big here in this part of Canada.  They hold lots of meaning for the First Nations people.    The other picture is taken along the seawall looking back toward the city.   This seawall runs for miles around the city.   You can literally walk/bike/run etc the entire way around.

After we grabbed some fish and chips (a senior special-$5 for more fish and fries than we could finish!) we decided to just stroll back toward the waterfront.   Did some window shopping and and ended up back down by Canada Place.  It is the area where the cruise ships dock.   Looks like big white sails.   The area is so pretty.    We finally made our way to Gastown, one of the oldest parts of the city.   This is where the famous steam clock is found.

Looking forward to our full day tomorrow.

Hugs to Everyone,

Bob and Deb
