Vancouver
A walk across the Lions Gate Bridge
I got to walk across the Lions Gate Bridge yesterday – it was quite an adventure. Honestly, I don’t think it was something that I had ever considered doing before but my parents had asked me to drop of their vehicle for servicing in North Vancouver and when I looked at a map to determine how best to get home I figured I’d give it a go. I’ve taken SeaBus many times so that that route wasn’t a very exciting idea. The Lions Gate Bridge is beautiful and though I have driven across the bridge many times I’ve never had an opportunity to stop and take photos or enjoy the view, it seemed like the most exciting option by far!
Eye of the Wind – visiting the wind turbine at Grouse Mountain
Along with my Olympic buddies Rachael and Dave I got to see the Eye of the Wind turbine at the top of Grouse Mountain. It was an amazing trip – everyone should go!
Touring the Museum of Anthropology and UBC’s Gardens
After several wonderful tours in Europe I was keen to go on some tours back here at home. Luckily, not long after I got home Groupon put up a 50% off deal for a tour of the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) at UBC. I have lived in Vancouver (off and on) for 11 years now and have somehow never made it to MOA – I have no excuse for that. Heck, I was at UBC, steps from MOA for four years! And now that I’ve been there I know I’ll be returning soon.
