With rainy skies over Whistler on Tuesday, we decided to drive into Vancouver and visit western Canada's largest city. On the way along the Sea to Sky Highway, we paused at Shannon Falls and marveled at the powerful waterfall. Closer to Vancouver, we rode the gondola to the top of Grouse Mountain where we enjoyed lunch with a panaromic view from above downtown Vancouver. Our next stop was the Vancouver Aqaurium in Stanley Park, a beautiful tree-filled park which reminded us of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. After much driving around through downtown looking for just the right spot for dinner, we stumbled upon Granville Island (because I took a wrong turn and went over a bridge) and found Tony's Fish and Oyster Cafe. This was one of the best (and cheapest) meals of the entire trip. The drive back to Whistler was absolutely beautiful again, with skies clearing and fresh snow on the peaks. Have I said yet that this place is incredibly beautiful...
