Wednesday 28th January 2004, Day 137/273 - Vancouver, British Columbia.

People rave about how beautiful Vancouver is. Maybe when it's not covered in clouds. The downtown area is quite sketchy and it's only when you get to Stanley Park that Vancouver begins to reveal its beauty. There are lots of condo's with stunning views no doubt, but they spoil the view for everyone else. The tranquillity of Stanley Park renewed my faith in what people had told me about the city. You can walk round the 10km's shoreline or follow trails through the woods to hollow trees and lakes. Who here has ever seen a black squirrel? I hadn't until i came to Canada, but they have them in Vancouver and in Niagara, but I've never seen them anywhere else.
