Vancouver



I dont usually make New Years resolutions, mostly because I never keep them.  And like a friend noted last night on NYE, you can have a fresh start any day.  Every day is a new day!  However, I did manage to accomplish one thing last year, I finally got a passport and took a trip to Canada with my best friend Jennie.  I know, not the most glamourous use of your first passport stamp.  But it was winter, bloody cold, and beautiful.  We stayed in north Vancouver with some of Jennie's relatives and were just down the road from Grouse Mountain.  And just a ferry ride away from downtown Vancouver.

This was part of a series of pictures Jennie happened to catch of me falling repeatedly whilst trying to pose for a photo



Some strange leaning shack on the waterfront



Downtown, Granville.  You can't tell but it actually started snowing heavily in this picture!

Farmers Market at Granville Island

Water Street, really snowing now!


Apparently these pastries called Beaver Tails are famous.  And delish!  Kind of like a deep fried flat doughnut.


The night before we left it REALLY snowed!
