Aug 6th Vancouver, BC

We left Seattle and traveled the 150 miles to spend 10 days in Vancouver, BC.

Who would have known that it was during Pride Fest?? Supposed to be 
the largest celebration of Pride drawing hundreds of thousands.

We also were lucky to have been here to see something they call
Festival of Lights where they have a fire works display over the 
bay, shooting fireworks off of a barge. Pretty nice show and 
I think the entire city of Vancouver was there.

Been on a bike ride which was an excursion in that the terrain 
here is hilly and it can be difficult to always peddle to the top 
of some hills without walking our bike.

We have also become mass transit professionals riding
their Skyrail and city buses and I tell you that can be
interesting.

The life in the city!!

We plan to take the BC Ferries over to Victoria tomorrow
and we'll do the typical visitor sites, Empress Hotel, Butchart 
Gardens and just walk the streets. We understand it will be 
an all day journey since we are about an hour from the ferry
and then the ride on the ferry is almost two hours, so our
commute time is at least three hours each way. WOW
when do we get to sight see??
