Vancouver, B.C.


We decided to take a trip to what Douglas Coupland calls the "city of glass". First we traveled to Seattle, WA where we rented a car and drove north.  It was an awesome idea to drive, we had a lot of fun. Vancouver was a great city. Unlike any other we have visited together.  It feels much newer than other cities.  We spent a good amount of time on the sea wall walk which gave us a great view of the city and the water.  Walked all over the downtown area including the neighborhoods of Gastown and West End.  Drank some good beer and had some good food.  We even took a few pictures.

It was Tonia's birthday.  I didn't have a kitchen so I bought us some cupcakes.



As we relaxed in a small park we saw this terrifying bastard.  I only new black squirrels existed because I read this article a few years back.



An honest to goodness house boat.



I needed some privacy to make a phone call so I brought my cell phone into this strange booth.  Goodbye everyone.

  1. Squirrel attacks(or the fear of one) were prevalent where I went to school.

  2. I remember evil black squirrels from my college days in Michigan! I was very happy when I moved to Alaska and discovered there weren't any in North Pole. Stay away...they're the spawn of the devil! One once chased me for three blocks on my way home from class!
