Travelin' Shoes

 Last week I had my travelin' shoes
buckled on and Running Man and I
 headed off to Vancouver, BC.

We stayed in a condo right in downtown (Gastown)
 on the 38th floor with a terrific view
of the harbor and the mountains to the north.

We crisscrossed the city,
enjoying the aquabus ride
to Granville Island even on a very rainy day, and
 the food booths brimming with tempting eats at the Public Market.
 It was a foodie extravaganza 

Stanley Park

was a must
along with the 
 Vancouver Aquarium with
the beluga whales.

A day trip to 
Capilano Suspension Bridge
was fun inching our way
over the swaying cable bridge 
that stretches across a river canyon
and then enjoying the elevated
 tree trail through the cedars and Douglas firs.

Then a ferry trip
 over to visit Victoria,
 the capitol city of British Columbia.
Despite a little drizzle
we wandered passed the century 
old Empress Hotel located on the harbor,
enjoyed some wonderful local fish and chips
and the lovely coastline of the island.

It was a great trip to Vancouver, but you can't 
ignore the happenin' street food scene.

So with the help of the Food Truck Tour,
we ate ourselves silly.
From Japadog

to TacoFinos and more.
 
It was delicious way to spend lunchtime.

 We only had a few days to explore this beautiful 
area rich in multicultural experiences,
and we had to leave so many things out,
but I guess,
 there's always next time.
Happy Travelin'


Until Next Time-
