Day off today. Drove back down the Sea-to-Sky Highway (or is it the Sky-to-Sea Highway heading south?) . Stopped in Squamish to take a look at the Chief. It's, um, really, REALLY big. There are lots of big mountains around, but the Chief is a really huge rockface. We stumbled around through the underbrush trying to find the path to the face (oh, that's why guidebooks exist!) before smart Graeme found a map. Not a great map, so we stumbled around for a bit 'til we (okay Graeme) figured out what it was hinting at. Must go back when warm.
Vancouver was much more cool than I remember it being last time I was there, but I was distracted by a beautiful boy the whole weekend I was there and didn't venture very far afield. Much more varied architecture than Toronto, which made it seem quite interesting. I do have to say, though, that W Hastings was terrifyingly ghetto, and that I feared for my life as we passed through, trying to remember not to make eye contact with anyone. Really, unless you're looking for some smack (do they still call it smack?) or something, give it a miss.
Do take a peek at the Marine Building, though. Truly a showpiece.
Vij's for dinner. Go there.
Pics are here.
