Vancity.... finally!

Well, after 7 days of driving we were welcomed to Vancouver last night with drizzle and our first traffic jam of the trip. Today however the skies cleared up and a nice breeze from the pacific made this city look like a million bucks.

On our way down along the Fraser Valley. The road was pretty crazy at times as it was hundreds of feet above the valley floor. The river looked really rough at spots too. The scenery went from really lush to super dry in some spots then back to super lush on the way to the coast. Trains were everywhere.
This is the Fraser River in Hope, BC. The low lying clouds made it look really different from the rockies we had seen the day before.

Aaron took us on a tour of UBC this morning. A really beautiful campus.

After running a bunch of errands we were driving by GM place and looked into going to a Canucks game so we bought some tickets. Solid!

"We're all Canucks"


Oh ya, Ben went and picked up Grace in Langley and she came too. Then after the game she convinced us to go to the Crepe Cathedral or something. She loved it, just look at the picture below, not only did she eat her own but finished off mine, both of which contained half a jar of nutella... Don't get me wrong, I like hazelnut spread as much as the next guys but Grace REALLY likes it. wow.

"No!"

Today we also went to MEC and I tried to pick up those last minute things I still needed. Tomorrow we're going to Ikea to buy Aaron furniture. He's gotta furnish his part of the house, sleeping on the floor isn't going to cut it.

I looked into some Fijian accomidations today. It looks like its going to be awesome!

What last minutes items from MEC? I thought you bought 'em in St Catharines ! You just need your monthly visit to MEC. What will you do Down Under?
