We arrived in Vancouver on Tuesday. We're staying at the hotel you can see on the left in this picture. It's beautiful and right in the middle of everything, so we've been walking almost everywhere. The kids and I have taken the bus once, but you can only ride it if you have already purchased tickets or if you have exact change (in coins, no bills), so we haven't had enough change to do that much. We also took a taxi once. It was the kids' first ever cab ride, and they thought it was pretty cool. They especially thought it was neat that the taxi was a Prius and asked why my Prius didn't have GPS and leather seats like the cool taxi!
We spent most of the first afternoon exploring the hotel and the immediate neighborhood. We also spent some time in the hotel pool, which is outdoors, but heated. It's rather overcast and chilly here. 50 degrees in this humidity is a lot colder than 50 in sunny Colorado. In the evening, we visited the Vancouver Art Museum. They have an exhibit called "Krazy", which is all about cartoons, comics, anime, etc. It was interesting. Then we went to an outstanding Italian restaurant called Al Porto.
