Distance..!

It's been a month commuting back and forth from home to work and back.. the travel is long and my backpack is always heavy. BUT.. It's all worth it! I truly enjoy working with animals, as frustrating they may be at times, but I am constantly learning; from the groomer, the dogs, and about the "order of command" in the workplace. It has been a lot of fun and I continue to look forward to it!

The weather is turning chillier by the day, so dress warm! And like the Starks of Winterfell say "Winter is Coming"!

Vancouver Trip! Pt 6

Walk to Dinner at Minami!
One of the greatest things to do on vacation is trying new food. After our exploration at the parks, we relaxed back at the hotel before dinner time. My sister and I decided which restaurant we were going for dinner.. and decided to have something new, pressed sushi!

Funny thing, since we were using Google Maps, we thought the walk time would be accurate.. but it was a lot farther than expected, and mom was not happy (haha). A 2 km walk to dinner sure worked up the appetite to satiate our hungry stomachs.

So I'll skip the writing, and jump into yummy photos of food!

Lion Gate Bridge and Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge
On the drive through the winding roads of Stanley Park, and missing the entrances a few times, we decided to go explore another tourist location. It was one of the spots my aunt described about a suspension bridge on the side of a cliff with glass floors.

It was quite a drive over the Lion Gate Bridge.. because apparently it was a "Highway" with directional lights hung above [arrow or cross] for which roads were open.

Snapshot out the window on the Lion Gate Bridge.

It was a short drive to one of the tourist bridges, the Capilano Suspension Bridge. However it wasn't the one that my aunt said that would be free. The tickets into the park to just walk over the suspension bridge was ridiculous.. $35 per person for a walk. We were not expecting how expensive these tourist places would be this pricey! So we researched which bridge was the free one and it was in the Lynn Canyon Park.

Vancouver Aquarium and JAPADOG!

On our continuous tour of Stanley Park; next stop was at the Vancouver Aquarium~! It was getting a lot warmer in the afternoon sun but the breeze was very cooling. On the walk up from parking to the aquarium, we saw artists selling their paintings. Sadly was not allowed to photograph, but let's just say, they were stunning, beautiful oil masterpieces.

Up the gentle slopes to the building, was a water wall of a cafe leading to the steps of the aquarium, aquarium gift shop and interesting statue.

It's a Wall-terfall [lol].

Beautiful tribal statue. I believe it's an Orca Whale? I'm not sure.

More of Stanley Park~

Cruising around the park in the car and enjoying the forested cool shade and breeze blowing in from the water's waves. After the short walk, we visited other areas of at the park; another beach area and a park playground. At this short stop, I took the opportunity to doodle in the shade of the towering pine trees.

While my parents and sister wandered around the park, I also took some photos of the beautiful blue flowers at the park. There were a lot of these types of flowers. I think they're hydrangea flowers.. but I love how the blue just vibrated off the petals from the sunlight.
