I just thought I would take a bit of a breather and whip together a quick post for anyone who's paying attention. Of course, I have included photos of a few select spots we have visited. It has been EXTREMELY busy, but in a good way. We've seen most of what we wanted in Vancouver, but I could spend a lot of time here (I could actually LIVE here, but don't tell Erika!!).
Don't judge me, but I've already taken over 1400 pictures. :)
Day 1 - A bit of a busy Canada Day on Granville Island and a shot in front of the new Convention Center waiting for the fireworks to start.
Day 2 - The Capilano suspension bridge. Wow! Very impressive, and Erika made it across alive. Also a short walk in Stanley Park in the afternoon. Ontario trees will never look the same.
Day 3 - Started with a nice long walk through Stanley Park (about 7kms total). Not only did I see my first Bald Eagle, I also saw my second, third and fourth Bald Eagles!! We also got to spend some time with some family of Erika's, who took us to little spot with a fantastic view.
Finally, I would like to point out that Vancouver is an absolute haven for anyone who likes cars. Here are a select few of the plethora I have spotted in the last few days.
Well, I guess I should be on my way. Only about a half hour left before we leave the hotel and get on the ship. Yeeeeeehaw!!!!
Sounds like you've had a wonderful time in Vancouver! What a great city. I am impressed by Erika's mastery of the Capilano suspension bridge -- I, too, made it across, but with much fear and trepidation :). Have a great cruise!

It is Friday already and you will be thinking about getting back. Hope you were as impressed with the glaciers as we were. I expect total pictures should exceed 5000 - looking forward to seeing them
