Vancouver
Arrived in Vancouver today after camping in a small campsite in the mountains last night. The drive through British Columbia is great even without snow on the mountains since it’s August. Though last night the low got down into the 40s, so much for summer!
Walked around Vancouver quite a bit this evening and randomly came across the 9:00 gun in Stanley park as it’s daily shot was being fired. Unfortunately the city skyline here is dominated by the water front high-rise apt buildings which I find quite ugly, it’s one of the least attractive skylines of any city I’ve been in.The city is very international,
I’ve heard so many languages so far that I couldn’t count them all and several I couldn’t identify. Walking down one street felt like a mile long world bistro and despite having already eaten dinner the area was still very engaging and all well kept up & classy. As a whole the city has a European feel to it, with lots of different Asians here but it still holds on the the North American city feeling somewhat. Hard to explain but the diversity here is the main thing I’ve noticed so far.
A note for anyone trying to view my pictures on flickr: Apparently flickr decided to stop letting people view most of my photos, I’m trying to get that fixed so hopefully it should be working properly again soon.
