The main purpose of the trip was company business, but I flew in early to visit my Aunt and do a little sight seeing. On several previous trips to Vancouver I&#8217;d kicked my self for not taking and extra day or two to enjoy my favorite Canadian city, especially when Winnipeg is cold and under the snow. So, I arrived Saturday and spent a great afternoon with my Aunt catching up on family events and all kinds of stuff. I was a very special time.  On Sunday I planned to go to two tourist activities the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/big_dadoo\/101843401\/in\/set-72057594067070993\/\">Capilano suspension bridge <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/big_dadoo\/101844069\/in\/set-72057594067070993\/\">Steveston<\/a>, a fishing village just outside of Vancouver on the banks of the Fraser River. I&#8217;d seen both before but Capillano had a new suspended walkway and there was some geocaching to be done in the Steveston area, plus a nice seafood lunch was appealing.<\/p>\n<p>Capilano was OK, but a little too \u201ctouristy\u201d not to mention the $23 admission fee and the $3 parking fee, but there were a few good pictures.  After driving back across the Lions Gate Bridge and picking up a Starbuck\u2019s coffee it\u2019s a short cruise to Steveston. The historic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/big_dadoo\/101844000\/in\/set-72057594067070993\/\">shipyard<\/a>, boat building, and cannery are very interesting. The river bank is set aside as a walkway and I spent the entire afternoon walking around in just a sweater which was quite enjoyable.&nbsp;<a href='http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/blogger\/'><img src='http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' align='middle' border='0' \/><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is &#8220;Medora Man&#8221; on the beach in Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC on a recent trip.
