We left the beauty of Seattle yesterday morning to see the wonders of our neighbor to the North, Canada. We drove up I-5 about 2 1/2 hours. Of course, we were on the road before most folks were out of bed, but the drive was really beautiful. Lots of green trees and green grass intermingled with lots of water. 
Here we are at the Canadian border. We could read the language, but there were signs to tell us to "Think Metric" so we never really were sure how far away anything was!
The first place we headed was to Granville Island which had a huge market area

Look at the size of these berries! We passed lots of berry farms between Seattle and Vancouver. I'm gonna remember these the next time I pay out the wahzoo for berries 1/2 this size.
I guess everything's relative. Poor Vancouverites (?) have to pay a lot for these "hard to find" chilis that we have all the time at our grocery stores.
Ed enjoyed finding The Lobster Man who ships live lobsters, Dungeness crabs, and

Mamaw and Ed check out the wharf area. They are looking at lots and lots of yachts
Mamaw and Ed check out the wharf area. They are looking at lots and lots of yachts since this is the Granville Yacht Club area too.
After Granville Island we went to the northern part of Vancouver to see Stanley Park. It is a very lush, heavily wooded area. Driving through the dense tall trees, it was easy to imagine what this part of the world looked like before all the city building began. Then we went up on Prospect Point and could see the opposite side of the spectrum just across the bay.
