Vancouver trip Day 3



Today we were going to meet my friend since we were in NY, before meeting, visited Granville Island.

We got off bus too early, had to cross bridge, walked a while.
Here is very popular place for both tourist and local people.
There are fresh food market, local artists' stores, brewery, restaurants, and so on.

How do they build cherries like this!
We got fresh pastry and coffee here.


My friend lives near Vancouver,  we got know each other when we were English students in NY.
On this day, he offered to look around Vancouver Biennale .
According to this site, there are many sculptures in city, so called outside museum.
We moved to Sunset beach, found one.

This is named 217.5 Arc x 13.
Each semi circle is 217.5 degree. When we reached here, a boy is playing with his dad.
People can touch, climb, take picture on this.

We walked to next sculpture.

Huuuuuge engagement rings.
Next is close to English bay beach, famous one.

A-maze-ing-laughter. Someone may have seen these laughing guys on guidebook?

After having late lunch, took tandem bike in Stanley park, my friends went home, we were planning to watch fireworks!

We waited for 3 hours, but this view is worth it!

That was amazing! Show lasted 25 mins without break time.
(In Japan, event lasts longer but there are several gaps in between fireworks.)

One matter was after celebration of lights, we didn't know how to get bus(^^;
