The rain that the Northwest is so famous for finally caught up with us. It rained most of the morning but not enough to stop us. We rode the trolley down to Granville Island Market. The Market was amazing and we spent hours just looking around.
The fruits and vegetables were wonderful and were so artistically arranged.
This is the mushroom pot pie that Karen and I shared for lunch at the market. Since we shared, we had room for a wonderful tangarine lime gelato. Ymmmmm! By the time we finished at Granville Island, the sun had come out and the rest of the day was mostly sunny.
Gastown is the site of the original downtown area. It is now the home of shops and restaurants. This is a steam run clock that is one of the icons of the area. We ate outside at the original Spaghetti Factory and (surprise!) did a little shopping. It should be noted here that Oliver and Gary were very patient with the ladies today since a bit too much time was spent looking and shopping! Mark went his own way early - he must have had an idea that shopping was on the plan for the day.
This is the view from our condo window on the 24th floor.
