First full day continued...

After we got our tent set up, we decided that we would go to Granville Island to look around. We didn't know what it was, but it was highly recommended to us by the girl in charge of bike rentals at the sea plane place.

We drove to where we thought it was, but it looked startlingly like a business park. We had imagined it to look a lot more like the island that pinochio went to than a business park. We eventually found it, and it did indeed look a lot more like pinochio's island than a business park. Unfortunately most of the stores were closed, so we just had supper at one of the many restaurants and went back to the tent.

On our way back to the tent, we drove through Gastown and saw the steam clock play a song at 9:00pm. It was pretty good, but I remembered Gastown to be alot better than that. But I guess I was a lot smaller then, and the stores were all open and there was no construction. While we were at the clock, we got pestered by a bum for $0.25.
