Blue skies and buildings




What a spectacular skyline? The cow and I made our way through the city of Vancouver over the Thanksgiving holiday. We were thankful for being able to travel to such an incredible city. We stayed two blocks from Yaletown and found Rodney's for Mussels and Oysters at the bar the first hour after we arrived. Yaletown is a happening place but we then made our way down to the Gas lamp district - old town area being kicked into high gear with development.
The days were sunny and cold but it allowed for great vistas of buildings and the mountains that are super close. We love the denseness of this city. It is packed with international people, great food and gorgeous architecture.
There are only two negatives to this town.....the Canadian dollar is valued higher than the US dollar and the taxes on alcohol will bankrupt an honest drunk.
