Vancouver Day 3

8/11/2024

3 Comments

 
Beautiful Day.  These two words which were the title of a U2 song describe today.  They also describe Yesterday which happens to be the title of..... Yes, a Beatles song which was written by Sir Paul McCartney.

Thank you again for all of the comments including good wishes.  Greg we look forward to meeting you and Pat on the Vancouver to Los Angeles leg.

After posting yesterday we watched the departure of the cruise ships that had been in port.  It's always enjoyable to watch arrivals and departures and it was a beautiful afternoon.  There is some haze in the sky which is caused by fires which impacts some of the distant views.  Three ships were in port yesterday and three are in port today.

Took this photo as one of the three passenger ships arrived at 5:40 AM.

Eventually, all three ships were in port.

After breakfast we went on a nice walk over to Stanley Park.  Many people were walking, jogging and on bicycles. We walked by the water and took in views of all of the yachts and other boats along with mountains and various buildings. We have visited this park on all our stays in Vancouver.  We viewed the Totem Poles.  As we headed back towards the hotel we detoured to walk on some side streets.  

When we began the walk the weather was cooler with a breeze. On the way back the sun came out and it became warmer.  We couldn't ask for any better weather.

We went back out for a couple of hours after lunch and strolled Gastown and surrounding areas and then Canada Place to see the ships in-port.

It's been another great day.

Cheers,

Great collage of photos! IThe weather decided to perk up since you have been here. Loved seeing the HAL ship from which we disembarked a few weeks ago. Please keep enjoying your stay: we are glad to have you return to our city.

I’m so glad you are enjoying your time in downtown Vancouver!
It is hard to believe but I grew up one block away from Canada Place and my parents lived there until the mid 70’s. Although we were in an apartment building, the area was residential! The area around Canada Place is so vibrant and I still find it exciting to visit! Like many other cities, the downtown core is changing. Have a wonderful cruise..missing my Crystal family!

So happy to see the return of your blog. Can’t travel myself just yet so reading about your adventures is doubly enjoyable. Looking forward to future chapters!
