We are loving the area, loving the swimming pool, and loving the hot tub! Not sure if this manhole cover is typical for Vancouver or not, or whether this a River District thing, but look closely and you’ll see frogs in a kind of Native Indian style.
The river is quite a fascinating thing for us – we’ve seen amazing stuff, from HUGE containers coming up the river, to tiny little boats doing I have no idea what. The views of Mt Baker continue to impress us.
Every day something new and exciting is happening. The so-called king tides didn’t come up as high as I expected, but the low tides were really low.
Lots of lovely parks – including three off leash parks – within walking distance too. We used to gas up the car once a week, but now it’s more like once every three weeks.
There is a seawall that runs quite a ways along side the river, and we made it to where the river splits around Mitchell Island. I can see that the seawall carries on for quite a ways, so another day we’ll try to go further.
