The PNY Pt 2: Vancouver
This is Part 2 of my Pacific Northwest travel series. See my other articles on: Victoria Island, British Columbia | Coastal Redwood Trees | Skagit Valley Tulip Festival
The next part of our journey took us to Vancouver, BC! While I like visiting cities, I've never wanted to live in one--but Vancouver may be an exception. We had the perfect tour guides, my sister and her husband, who live in Vancouver.
We drove our van onto another ferry from Victoria to Vancouver, zig zagging between small islands and soaking in the beautiful day that would extend into the weekend.
C'mon, a city nestled in mountains and on the Pacific...
...that's well laid out with a ton of public spaces, greenery, and parks...
...that's amazingly clean, beyond anything you see in the States...
...that has the 35 acre Granville Island with a brewery, distillery, shops, kids market, and the largest public market I've ever seen, putting any weekend at the Ferry Building in SF to shame...
...produce? pasta? imported spices? tea? coffee? sushi? fresh seafood and meat? amazing meat-stuffed bagels? OK, they've got that, you just shouldn't get lost...
...sweets, yes lots and lots of that...
Need somewhere to eat all that food? OK, we'll lounge outside.
And don't forget that it's only an hour from Squamish!
The rest of the weekend consisted of eating, resting, eating, a noon-to-night brewery tour, and hanging out.
I could've hung with these guys a little longer.
We really did end the weekend with an Iron Maiden concert.
