Vancouver
Back from a wonderful weekend wedding in Vancouver. Congratulations to Tim and Laura! It was quite a party and wonderfully heartfelt by all.
I am struck by Vancouver's beauty. Lush, clean, pleasant, and soothing. We really only experienced perfect weather. The people were especially friendly. One interesting thing was that we didn't see much of a bad element. Even the riff raff really weren't too bad. Maybe we just missed it but that sort of thing was noticeably absent. Maybe I've lived near downtown LA for too long.
Granville Island and the waterfront is pretty much a spitting image of everything we would love to do at the Port of LA. Even in the touristy areas, we found a complete gem of a store. I wish there was a Paper-Ya here.
We also went to Victoria. The ferry itself was worth the trip but Butchart Gardens. I wish I could have stayed there the entire week just to sit among the flowers and breathe in that air. I really must go back.

i think that they are trying to clean up for the winter olympics in two years, much like china did for this past summer. when kat & i went there for our honeymoon, we felt the same way that you did about the region.
sort of like la, but without the business and hustle and bustle of everyone being in a hurry.
the bad part of town was to the north and east of downtown, along the harbor. we drove by there on sunday and there were alot of scary looking homeless folks, many of whom were clearly tweaking.
