We have returned to P&L Adventures...As Pat has said our adventures have never ended since retirement as I give no time for rest...:)  We are now in Vancouver and have had a great 3 day visit here.  We took a City Bike tour our first day which was a wonderful way to see the city except for it was 5 hours and we were the oldest on the tour.  Guess who was in the rear the most of the time.  Great fun though and Vancouver is one of the prettiest cities we have visited.

 Stanley Park was a favorite with the totem poles, Beaver Lake, and so much green space.

 The Vancouver harbor is so pretty with mountains and lighthouse views.

 We posed at the cruise ship harbor the day before we leave on our cruise to Alaska.

 Canada place lights up at night to give the city even more appeal

The Olympic torch from 2010 has become a landmark fountain.

 We met up with our good friends Pam and John Lee....we enjoyed a trip to the Vandusen Botanical gardens.  We travelled by city bus and did not have any Canadian money but the bus driver let us ride for free.  We then found an ATM for the trip back.

 Chinatown was interesting but disappointing....it really looks run down and sad....hopefully Vancouver will work on this area.

 Our meal in Chinatown was delicious and made up for the disappointing area of town.  We ate at Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie.  It was a tappas style eating of Chinese cuisine and so good.

We were going to mooch a ride back to our hotels, but decided to take a taxi this time.  We had to end the day with the best gourmet gelato in the city at Bellas....the line can be up to an hour long, but we only waited about 30 minutes....It was worth the wait...only wished I had picked 3 scoops instead of 2.  Next Trip......love and miss you all.....be safe and blessings.....P&L
