#18 Walkabout - Vancouver style
We decided to see what we could see on foot. So, on a beautiful, clear morning we headed out to the Granville Public Market on Granville Island. Well, we at least walked to the ferry landing where for a few bucks, you are taken there. What an amazing shopping area. It's like a huge Farmer's Market and then some. After that we walked to China Town and then back to our hotel with the intention of getting over to Stanley Park. But after almost 6 hours of walking we decided to have our own little spa day in our hotel room. Rested up, we again walked to China Town and had our last meal in Vancouver at Bao-Bei, a Chinese Brassiere. What a treat! Tomorrow we start back to real life. Living in this travel fantasy-land has been fun, but tomorrow, the "horse is headed for the barn."
#17 I can see clearly now
We woke up to clear, blue skies in Kelowna. The drive to Vancouver was beautiful with good visibility the whole way. We finished up our audiobook, Canada by Mike Myers, just as we got to the outskirts of the city. The book really added to our knowledge of Canada and Mike Myers was an excellent story teller. His comedic style gave us some really good laughs, too. After checking into our hotel we walked the waterfront, enjoying the balmy evening with a raft of international tourists and locals.
