Hi from sunny and warm Vancouver. The trip over was great- we got some sleep and enjoyed smooth travel for the most part. A long wait at customs lines in S.F though! Had a great day today exploring downtown Vancouver and surrounds. We enjoyed a panoramic view of the city from Burnaby Mountain looking down into Deep Cove, over the inlet to Port Moody/Coquitlam and around to central Vancouver itself. We drove down into the city, around the harbour, some flash yachts anchored in the marina, and into Stanley Park, a promentary jutting out into the Burrard inlet. This 405 hectare (1000 acre) public park, the largest in Nth America, has stunning scenery – huge trees, cycleways, gardens and walkways with vistas of the harbour and out to sea through the natural forest. We lunched on Granville Island at the indoor market- wild salmon rolls, sticky walnut buns and coffee- yum, yum! The afternoon was spent wandering around Steveston, a picturesque little fishing village on the coast near to the airport.

Sounds fabulous. We are working extra hard and it is foggy and cold so you can feel really good.
