Vancouver- Stanley Park







Nice place, this Stanley Park! Despite the crowds at the Aquarium, it was well worth it. The exhibits were amazing. It’s not huge so you don’t spend hours walking here and there like in Niagara’s Marineland. The kids stuck their heads into bubbles in a fish tank to look like they were inside. Mom wanted to see the sea turtles. I was fascinated by the jellyfish. Money was burning a hole in the kids’ pockets so they separated themselves from a few bucks at the gift shop.

We drove around for a bit in the park, taking in the scenery on this spectacular sunny day. Beautiful city and a beautiful setting. O. says she wants to come back here some day, and that Vancouver is "basically like Hamilton only bigger and better." After all, Hamilton has a mountain backdrop and has a wide mix of cultures and socio-economic status.
