I took a day off from blogging yesterday. We're actually in Vancouver enjoying a short vacation-- despite the proximity to Seattle, we rarely visit so it's fun being tourists in a familiar "foreign country." A highlight was the view (above) from the balcony of our hotel room on the 27th floor, looking out on a sea of condos. We soon got to know he comings and goings of our rich high-rise neighbors across the sky. And within 24 hours the seagulls were cruising the railing for crackers and cheese at happy hour. I could get used to life at this elevation. Just don't think about the Big One.
Oh yes. This is a PR shot of Vancouver sparkling in the summer sun. Vancouver does not look like this in March. Not that many years ago, this landscape was a rain forest. The rain is still here, only the forest is missing. But gray skies didn't stop us from seeing the sights: Chinatown, Blodel Conservatory, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Stanley Park. I'll post some highlights after we get home today and sort through the pictures.
