06/08/2010 - Tuesday

Today was a tourist-type of day in Vancouver.

This morning I went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge (about 240 feet above a small river). the bridge did sway a fair amount, side to side and a little up and down. After crossing the bridge, the other side of the facility had 'tree walkways' - boardwalks in the tree tops.

While I was at the bridge, Judy, Frank & Karen (per Judy - "The 3 Chickens") went to the Space Centre.

In the afternoon we all took the city bus to Stanley Park. Here we walked along the sea wall at the first bay, for about 1 mile or so. We then went to the 'totem pole' display.

Supper was at "The Old Spaghetti Company" in the Gastown district.

Now we need to get ready for our first of several ferry rides. This one is over to Vancouver Island and the city of Victoria.

I forgot to mention in yesterday's post. We have been without a car since we got to the hotel yesterday. The hotel does not have parking at the hotel. They take the car to a secure parking structure about a block away, and of course charge us for it. It has worked out - we either walk to where we want to go (usually only a few blocks) or we take the city buses.
