Vancouver Rocks

So, I pulled into town and immediately got completely lost. Which was OK. Sometimes it's the best way to experience a city right off the bat, just driving around taking in the sights and sounds, maps be damned.

I ended up in a neighborhood called Jericho Beach (I always gravitate toward the sea), and got a dose of some strong coffee. It actually made me sweat profusely. Plus it's warm here. Like 25! That's warm, trust me. And sunny, blue skies (I think I'm hitting this city at very much the right time).

This is a really nice city. It's really got it all: Wide bays and inlets, dramatic views, hiking, quiet neighborhoods and a bustling, very cosmopolitan downtown all within a few miles. Go a little further and you've got Whistler-Blackcomb, one of the best ski-spots in the world.

I even saw an old guy smoking his (medicinal?) marjiuana on his porch. This city is known to some as the Amsterdam of the West, though the herb is not completely legal here.



Jericho Beach:



I found a strange campsite that's in North Vancouver. Capilano RV park is located, sorta, under a bridge. A really nice bridge, tho! Be sure to bring earplugs if you're planning on staying.





Thanks for the air mattress Kari!
