Just got back from Vancouver, Canada with my favorite daughter and favorite grandson! The forecast said rain (liquid sunshine) but we were blessed with 1 1/2 beautiful days (the first day was crap). Here is a view of Canada Place from the ferry to North Vancouver.
I've been here before and it was reasonably priced, but since they added a skywalk overlooking the bridge, the price was exorbitant. We took a train, ferry and bus to get here and we took one look at the prices and hopped back on the bus. Guess we're true McFarlands.
The view of Vancouver city from Longsdale Quay, which I pronounce "kway".
This whale gives my eyes the jitters just lookin' at it. Canada Place and a view of North Vancouver Island and the mountains.
We just love taking walks through Stanley Park along the harbour. Many people were oat and aboat jogging, biking and taking pictures of the fall leaves. We also went to a Halloween festival here Friday night, complete with a train through the Watcher in the Woods forest.
I just love autumn, you guys.
My first thought of eating poutine was ewwww, but after tasting it I was hooked. Who doesn't love fries, cheese curds and gravy together in one piping hot bowl?
Winns was a good sport but he hated being cooped up in the stroller in that awful life jacket coat he was wearing. He could barely move his arms.
The Harbour.
Here's me talking to my other daughter who texted me and called me while I was away. You kids are like fly paper!
The totem poles at Stanley Park. I felt like a real Native Canadian after seeing these!
We had a great time in Canada. It was brisk and chilly at times but you cannot beat the beauty of the mountains and the ocean together, combined with super nice people everywhere you go. My one complaint: the dollar menu at McDonald's is more like a $3 menu.
Yay for Canada!
