It's amazing how time flies when you are on vacation. The past two weeks have been delightful and reinvigorating. We had a little of everything to deposit into our memory banks. Imposing glaciers, enough food on the cruise ship to feed all the starving children in India for a year. Cloudy cold days, a wonderful amount of sunny warm days, and awesome friends to share good times with.
Our last day was spent in Vancouver B.C. We had a chance to visit Stanley Park. The third and last must see before catching our flight late in the day. We had heard that Stanley park is an amazing recreational area to enjoy best in the summer. We apparently had one of the best days of the year to enjoy the extensive park. Stanley park is a step up of Central Park in New York. It is very green and Forrest like in some areas where it's designated for hiking, and Eco friendly as well as the best and most relaxing spot to Rollerblade, walk, ride bikes all while taking in the fresh air and beach views that Vancouver is also known for. We walked the trails around the park for about two miles in wonderment and amazement at such beautiful scenery. After completing our hike and buying a few last minute souvenirs we headed down and out of the park to eat at Harvey's (at the recommendation of our friends the Sabot's). According to them Harvey's has the best veggie burgers and Poutine fries (since we had nothing to compare on the first day we had them we figured clogging our arteries one last time before heading home would not kill us. Sometimes there are times when you eat and forget all rules relating to calories, might as well since there is perhaps there is no measurement for such a Canadian palate wonder.
We are grateful, we are happy and most of all blessed to have had the experiences we have had these last two weeks. It is unlikely we will soon forget our travels and the places we have seen, from Anchorage Alaska where we started and could not sleep because it's always daylight, to Seattle, Portland the beautiful island of Gibsons in Canada and finally Vancouver, we loved and appreciated every minute of every day. Thank you Canada for dispelling all preconceived notions of who you were. The east side is nothing like B.C.. Until next time, because this is definitely one of those places that we know will have a next time. When? We don't know. How long? we also don't know, but we promise there will be a next time.
Until next time. Safe Journeys for all.
