We got up verrrrry early in the morning to catch the train to Vancouver. The train was a wonderful way to travel - very comfortable - and lots of the scenery was great, but not as picturesque as we expected. After getting thru customs, we took taxis to our condos and met K & O there. Had some lunch and then caught the trolley to Stanley Park, a huge beautiful place. This is the view of some of downtown Vancouver and Canada Place with the white pointy roof - that is where our ship will leave from on Wednesday.
There is a nice little collection of totems poles from various First Nations tribes in Stanley Park.
We had wanted to see Chinatown because of our fond memories of going to San Francisco's Chinatown as kids, but this Chinatown was a disappointment, to say the least. After a rather odd dinner at "Hon's House of Noodles" (none of our meals came with noodles!) we trooped back to the condo to go to bed early. More of Vancouver tomorrow.
