WHEN I MOVED AWAY FROM VANCOUVER, I HAD NO IDEA I WOULD MISS IT SO MUCH, PLUS...MY COUSIN/SISTER I NEVER HAD (SHE HAS A GREAT BLOG BTW) LIVES THERE AND IT WAS SO GREAT TO BE BACK!
SO I AM PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE BACK FOR A WHILE TO REPLENISH MY PHOTO REPERTOIRE, I'LL JUST PUT UP SPORADIC POSTS ON STUFF I DID DURING MY TRIP THERE! ...SOUND GOOD? :)
GRANVILLE ST., VANCOUVER -- DECEMBER 2009
...OF COURSE, UNLESS YOU LIVE UNDER A ROCK, VANCOUVER IS HOSTING THE WINTER OLYMPICS THIS FEBRUARY AND THERE WAS SO MUCH EXCITEMENT IN THE AIR THIS YEAR!
I LOVE GASTOWN. IT IS VANCOUVER'S SOHO...EVERYONE VISITING MUST, MUST, MUST TAKE A STROLL DOWN ITS COBBLESTONE STREETS...
HAVING BEEN THE LOCATION OF "INDUSTRIAL VANCOUVER," GASTOWN'S OLD FACTORIES HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO TRENDY STORES AND AMAZING LOFTS...IT IS THE HOME OF VANCOUVER'S MOST INTERESTING CROWDS--TO SAY THE LEAST!!
IF YOU GO TO GASTOWN WHEN THE SUN COMES DOWN (THAT RHYMES)...DON'T BE TAKEN ABACK BY FOLKS ASKING FOR MONEY OR DRAGS OF YOUR CIGARETTE...JUST...SAY..NO...
THINGS TO DO:
STEAM CLOCK --
It's a Steam clock that chimes every four minutes or so...kind of cool
My favourite restaurant in the whole wide world...I already wrote about it..check it out
LAMPLIGHTER --
Love this bar...catch a Canucks hockey game here..turns into a nightclub on weekends..get there early
Awesome bar...those who are late for Lamplighter go here!
STEAM CLOCK ON WATER ST.
OUR GREAT DINNER AT SALT...THOSE GLASSES WERE ALL OURS
UP THE STREET -- "ALIFE IS BEAU TIFUL"
UNTIL NEXT TIME! HAVE TO PACK FOR MY WEEKEND IN BARCELONA! STAY TUNED...
