Just wanted to let you know that we have safely arrived in Vancouver! We already dig the place and are looking forward to tomorrow's adventures. A few photos are being posted from the travels and from the sunset on Jericho Beach, which is where our last hostel is.

Tree: Bigleaf Maple
Beers: Russell Cream Ale, Russell Honey Blonde
We wandered around Vancouver today. I love this city! There are a lot of cool unique districts, it's clean, there's a lot of bike paths and parks and whatnot, basically encouraging people to get out and do things.

We also checked out the Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver. It's pretty enormous and sweet and there's a lot of trees, but I hung out with Katie, who couldn't cross the bridge on crutches. We hung out with some crazy wooden statues and got our hands stamped for visiting various children's stations...

The girls went along with my intense desire to have dinner at a microbrewery, so we ended up at Yaletown Brewery. Beers of the day: Hill's Special Wheat and Red Trucker Ale. We spent some time at Sunset Beach Park this evening, which is exactly what it sounds like, on the English Bay. It was really pretty and a relaxing way to say goodbye to this awesome country. Can't believe we're heading home tomorrow!
