First Full Day in Vancouver

We drove from the hotel to the Marina and looked at all the boats. We saw some amazing condos for sale that ranged from $500K to $1.4 million. As we continued on down the docks, we came to a place giving seaplane rides and decided that we would go for a ride. It was amazing. The buildings looked just like they do in Sim City, especially the Hockey Arena. We both really enjoyed it, and we took lots of pictures.

We found a cool restaurant on stilts over the marina for lunch. It was quite good. I had grilled hailbut.

After lunch, we walked along the seawall in Stanley Park, and then we went to the Capilano Bridge. It cost $16.00, but we had our student id's and so it only cost $8.00 each. We were pretty lucky. The bridge is very high, and I commented that we should drop a penny into the river but I figured that they would get mad. Tracie agreed that you are probably not allowed to drop things into the river. I demonstrated how you could sneakily drop a penny into the river, and just as I was doing it, my camera bumped into the fence, the lens cap fell off, and dropped onto the bridge. It hit my foot and slid through the little crack between the walkway and the fence. It dropped 250 feet into the Capilano River below.

We asked the girls at the gate if they knew where any campgrounds were. They didn't know where any close ones were, but said that we should go to Hope, if we wanted to camp! What idiots those girls are. You can camp at the RV park about 5 blocks away.
