| On the way to Vancouver |
 |
| Vancouver is a beautiful city, snuggled between the sea and the mountains with lots of high rise glass buildings. We spent three nights here, enjoying the city immensely |
 |
| Stanley Park at dusk and sunset |
 |
| This the the Convention Center that reminded us of the Sydney Opera House |
 |
| The mountains in the background |
 |
| The next day we explored the city, went to the Art Gallery but unfortunately most of the exhibit areas were closed. We did hear a concert by a violinist and flutist which was beautiful. |
 |
| The library! |
 |
| The stadium. We stayed at a YWCA near this landmark. It was easy to find our way home. |
 |
| Chinatown |
 |
| The Classic Gardens of Sun Yatsen |
 |
| The second night we went to a piano bar and heard many old classics while enjoying many martinis and glasses of red wine. |
 |
| This was about as much "exercise" as I got for most of the trip! |
 |
| The next day, we took a water taxi to Granville Island. Here are some house boats |
 |
 |
| Another wonderful farmer's market on Granville Island |
 |
| Our last night in Vancouver, we saw Venus in Fur after attempting to get dinner at a local very slow restaurant. |
 |
| Our final moments with Margaret before we left for Whistler and she left for Australia(. Margaret was the most wonderful travelling companion-helpful, flexible and fun! |
