Vancouver (Part 2) - Granville Island

Granville Island is one of those things-to-do spots right in the middle of the city. I kinda stumbled into it and ended up spending about four hours cruising around, checking it all out.

Apparently Granville Island was a kind of rundown industrial park (a concrete factory is still in operation there), but recently was turned into a zone full of art studios, lofts, shops, restaurants, live theatres, and a huge indoor farmer's market where I picked up some blueberries and cherries from some hippie farmers.

It's a great spot to spend long morning. There were a lot of restaurants I'd have loved to blow my budget on. I'll definitely have to come back (with more dough).



The Lobster Man will cook the lobster you pick out, bam!


I also got my first taste of the signature Native art of the North:
