Vancouver is the cleanest city I have ever seen, and they don't even cane people. Even in the "bad" section of town with the obligatory junkies is CLEAN. Those people could snort off of the street it is so clean. Also the Canadians in Vancouver that I have met and exceedingly nice. What the hell, you just cross the border and everyone is nice and kind and they know their history. I really like this one section called Granville Island, they have a great market place. After living in Hawaii I was waaaayyy overwhelmed by the selection, it took me forever to make up my mind. I ended up with Dolmadas (stuffed grapeleaves) and a cookie. And the dolmadas were amazing. Now I get to subsist on cruise ship crap (it all tastes the same to me). But they do have a nice gym so I can actually feel like I have done something physical during the day.
Today we are in Ketchikan, Alaska. Thank god I get paid for all this because I discovered this guy's work www.normanjackson.com he is for Tlingcut tribe and is an amazing artist. When I save up enough I would love to haveoneof his mask (damn student loans!!)
I will leave you with a picture for Vancouver:
