There is nothing else to say but...RAIN!!! This is like the UK at the moment and cold. i have had good day and walked and walked though. Went over to Granville Island to the Farmers Market and ate good food. I persevered through the weather as I want to cram as much in as I can. Too much time wasted in a few places resting on my laurels. The only prob is that my photos aren't all that. I walked around the coast though and explored Stanley Park until I got bored of being wet. It is on the peninsula of downtown and apparently over 200 unregistered homeless live in the park, which is more of wood really. I did see a few tents hiding in the woods!
I had a fun night last night watching the madness unfold on Granville Street. As the hostel is slap bang in the middle of a nightclub it was amusing to watch young lads getting beaten by security whilst drunk and thrown in the back of police vans (forcefully i might add!). All the drama of staying downtown aside, Vancouver is a plush, green place and it refreshing to be here as the leaves fall and change colour, and autumn sets in (sorry....fall!). Lots of Irish here and Aussies also, not to mention a lot of English. I am confused as they all seem to be travelling Canada and I haven't the foggiest idea about Canada or where they are going or talking about!
I am off on an excursion to Lynn Canyon tomorrow with the hostel. So, should be good, but more rain forecast...lots of it! I am off to see hip hop band Blackalicious tonight, which is cool as I have kept missing them all the time as I toured the US. It is much expensivo here as well....so stretching the budget a little, so I will be pleased not to pay $12 for a packet of cigarettes once back in the US as well as all the hidden taxes they seem to have here....mmmmm sounds a little like a small island in Europe that I know of?? Hope you all had a good weekend??
peace
