Vancouver

We stayed at Capilano RV park and visited the city last night and
today. We didn't have time to visit all the highlights but we saw GM
place, the Granville Market, Stanley Park and lots of homeless people.
Haha. We also went to New Amsterdam Cafe which is directly under the
BC Marijuana Party office. :)

Vancouver is a great city and I now understand why they have an
overpopulation problem. The downtown core is very compressed and all
the bridges make it hard to get around. There's glass buildings
everywhere so now I know why Douglas Coupland's book was called City
of Glass. Locals are, as far as I can tell, quite friendly and laid
back. We both wish we could have stayed another night to continue
exploring downtown and the rich nighlife.

I know I can't bitch because it's been raining since we left back home
but it's 32 (feels like 35) here and man is it ever gross. We were
lucky the RV park had a pool so we went for a dip while waiting on a
load of laundry to finish. We slept OK though, thanks to all the
screens in Lucy.

We are currently sweating in Vancouver traffic finding our way to
Highway 1 EAST (!!!) for the first time since we took off. We will try
to make it to Kamloops today.

Sorry in advance to everyone back home but we didn't get a chance to
souvenir shop as much as we thought... :(
