Day 2

I didn't bring the cord to download pictures, so you will have to wait until we get back to see those.
We got up and ate my favorite breakfast of eggs Benedict and fresh fruit. We then headed to Capilano suspension bridge where we crossed a huge gorge on a swaying suspension bridge. I am proud to say, I had no problem doing this. The views were breathtaking. Think "A river runs through it" with snow capped mountains in the background. We didn't see much wildlife here though.
We headed back after about 2 hours of hiking. We then headed to Granville Island to the huge city market. On the way there we visited the beach, not real impressive, rocky. The kids would have loves watching a dog beach though. About 10 dogs frolicking in the water was cute. We took a ferry boat across to the island. It was a huge farmers market. Lots of food options and arts and crafts items. Joe's mom would have been in heaven! It was very crowded and had street entertainment too. We ate lunch of all the samples we encountered. From smoked salmon to fruit, to nuts and chocolate. We took city transit back and stopped at a mall for a bit- just like a castleton.
We headed back and relaxed for awhile and then had to get ready for dinner at The Italian House. I watched HGTV and am glad we don't have it at home or I wouldn't get anything done! The restaurant was yummy, but dinner got over at 1230 am our time. I was pooped! We went to sleep instead of going out.
Today we are going biking at Stanley Park. I think we are going to get a tandem, Joe and I don't have a great history with bikes so maybe this will be safer-ha!
We then get on he boat this afternoon and it is off to Alaska. The weather has been beautiful and the stories we hear of this cruise has us excited.
Probably no more posts until we return.
BTW my headache is mostly gone and I feel much better. Just in time to get on a rocking boat! I do have Dramamine with me.
