We're back from Vancouver visiting DD. Her and her boyfriend Nathan live in the downtown area which explains the following pictures.
I loved this window which was huge. It reminded me of some castle window I might find in England.

We took the new Canada Sky-Train from the airport to the Waterfront Station where the hotel was. This train line was finished in September of this year, and I believe was part of the plan for the Olympic crowds which will be arriving sometime in Jan/Feb. 2010.

In the evening.....
We took the SeaBus over to Lonsdale Market in North Vancouver. How much more Christmas can it be watching this children's school choir?
The tugboats outside Lonsdale market.
Seabus ride from North Vancouver back to downtown Vancouver...Canada Place in the background to the right.
More shopping the next day over at Daiso at Aberdeen Mall in Richmond. Of course we had to check out the wedding dress shop.
A perfume shop with a pretty display of samples.
A goofy lunch at the mall.
Dinner that evening was at Foundation (A view from our table) on Main Street, Vancouver.
After dinner we took a drive around Stanley Park to take a look at the Olympic rings.
The shopping highlight of the weekend was when I stopped in at Dressew on Hastings Street. Nashua yarn motherload at $1.99/ball!!!! You know you picked the right man when he can be convinced to stuff yarn in his suitcase until it's near bursting. Thank you Dale you don't know how happy that yarn made me. ;) XOXO
Miss you Nathan and Nino!!!!! We had a really good time!!
