Exploring Vancouver

We spent our next two days exploring this great city and eating many different kinds of food. I think we covered all the must see sights:


Stanley Park:
Loved walking through this park with amazing views, beautiful rose garden and a traditional show at the Klahowya Aboriginal village.

Robson Street:
Had to see the damage from the riots and do some window shopping.


Gastown:
Oldest town in Vancouver that boasts of well known powered steam clock. A very hip area great for strolling about or getting a cup of coffee.

Yaletown:
A great neighborhood with lots of trendy restaurants. We had Japanese inspired tapas at Sakana.

Falls Creek:
Great for relaxing/walking by the water.

Chinatown:
The second largest in North America was great for a dimsum stop. Not much to see besides the typical Chinese markets and a garden that was not very well maintained.


Granville Island:
The patriotic atmosphere on Canada Day was infectious. The diversity of this city was fascinating. But everywhere was sporting maple leaf of some sort.

Olympic Village:
We walked by what was left of the Olympic village. Most buildings have been converted to green living complexes.


Nelson had to walk by the Canucks Stadium.

More amazing views as we took the train from Vancouver to Seattle along the Pacific coast
