Great day in Vancouver. We went to Stanley Park which is a huge wonderful park that is right in Vancouver. It sits on a point and is surrounded by the water on three sides. There is a seawall that serves also as part of the walkway that goes almost all the way around the city of Vancouver. We took the Hop on/Hop off trolley in and got off at the Totem Poles - a collection of Totems from all the groups from the area.
From the totem poles, we walked around most of the park on the seawall - it was a beautiful morning and there were lots of walkers, bike riders, and roller bladers.
We figure we walked over 5 miles of the seawall. After we met up with the rest of the crew, we came back to Stanley Park and did it again - this time without the 5 mile walk - just rode the trolley around.
As kids, the Keiser girls took many fun trips to Chinatown in San Fransisco and when we found out that there was a Chinatown in Vancouver we knew we had to go. The best I can say is that we went! It was pretty sad - nothing to do ever again. We had a recommendation for Hons House of Noddles for dinner which also ended up being pretty sad! Not one of us got a noodle. But we had a good time - the bus ride back was pretty funny when Kathy tried to pay the driver $.05 for a $2.50 each ride - the finer points of Canadian money had escaped her - she thought she had a $5 coin but they don't have one of those! We got several comments from other bus riders about "being from Kansas" and Dorothy!
