Lion's Gate Bridge in the distance. Great harbor views from our hotel room at Canada Place. Those are two floating gas stations..... |

Vancouver's Stanley Park is immediately adjacent to the downtown area... huge park on a peninsula, mostly a wooded area. Took the horsecar tour.... (And the trolley bus tour which goes around the entire peninsula.) |
Vancouver's answer to Denmark's famous Girl on the Rock... A skin-diver on a rock. West side of Stanley Park - Note the cormorant that has joined her... |

We even enjoyed the Vancouver Theatre - one woman show
