Well, I absolutely love Vancouver. I had a great day with Kat. This morning, she, her son, and I went out exploring some of the more outdoorsy touristy things in the city: the Capilano Suspension Bridge, the Cleveland Dam, and Grouse Mountain. We took the tram up Grouse Mountain and had lunch at the top. There's a trail that goes straight up the side of the hill called the Grind. People walk or even run up it. Those people are crazy. I was really surprised at the weather here - it's beautiful. I expected it to be much colder and drearier. Granted, the city may be trying to fool me like Seattle did.
After coming back home to shower and change, Kat and I went out for the evening. We took the Sea Bus over to Vancouver (we're staying in West Vancouver), walked around the Coal Harbor area (got to see the Olympic torch statue!) and the Gastown area. We had dinner at a fantastic seafood restaurant - Rodney's Oyster House. We had some delicious oysters, a great salad, and mussels in an amazing dill butter broth. It was great food and great company. I really had a great time hanging out with Kat and I'm looking forward to coming back here again in the future.
Long day of driving tomorrow, and unfortunately I have no Harry Potter to get me through it. I am number 2 on 3 library waiting lists for it (number 8 on the 4th library's list). So I had to download a few other audio books in the meantime. We'll see how I enjoy them.
