Vancouver, eh?

Day 10 - Vancouver (I)

We got off the ship bright and early Sunday morning in Vancouver. We stayed near a poorer part of town, so my impression of the city probably wasn't fair. I think it really is a nice city. Probably would have been good to spend a little more time there. We did see the Olympic torch and all on the trolley tour, so it was all okay.



There was a jazz festival going on in "Gastown" so that was kind of neat. Street performers and all. It's also the home of the thinnest building in the world, apparently.


Day 11 - Vancouver (II) & Amtrak

We spent the afternoon in Vancouver before boarding the Amtrak to Seattle (to catch the plane). We just toured around again and had lunch on Granville Island, which really isn't an island anymore.

Bye Bye Canada!

We got in late to Seattle and flew out in the morning (Day 12).

Awesome trip!! :)
