I spent the day walking the downtown area of Vancouver; it's an interesting and very good looking city, even in the rain. I did some souvineer shopping in the Gastown section where one of the sidewalk attractions is a steam powered clock. I also wandered down to the harbor where high rise buildings are taking over the landscape. Most of the recent Winter Olympic events took place away from downtown but there are a couple of reminders around. There's also an active seaplane base with a busy schedules of takeoffs and landings right downtown.
This is the last stop on my trip, Canada was interesting and fun but I'm tired and ready to head home. Eastbound flights from the west coast tend to leave early so it'll be a quiet night for me and a very early ride on the Skytrain (Vancouver's new light rail system) to the airport. I'll be signing off the travel blog for a while to catch up on a growing list of house projects. As always, thanks for reading and your comments. Have a good fall season.
