Baseball and Canada, Eh! Day #7 “A Bridge and a Park Deserves Another Good Meal or Two”

Today we visited two more “Must See” sights in Vancouver.  This morning we went to Capilano Suspension Bridge.  This is a privately owned entity that was built in 1889 and now has been developed into a tourist attraction.  The bridge is rather high over a river and can be a bit frightening to women and children.

Patrice here, boy is Robert full of hot air.  See below.

The park included a very interesting nature tour where we learned about the foliage and animals in the region.  After that we heard a less than exciting talk about the birds in the area.  We did get to see an owl which was very interesting to watch.  I was very envious of his ability to almost do a complete 360 with his head.

We next headed to lunch at The Flying Pig in the historic Gastown district (102 Water St,). This place was recommended to us by our friends Zara and Chuck who recommended Nightingale which we enjoyed last night.  They specifically recommended we get the Salmon Sampler.  See below.

I am recommending Chuck and Zara become restaurant critics.  They are 100% in our experience.

After lunch we went to Stanley Park named after Lord Stanley from NHL Stanley Cup fame.   We toured the park directly BEHIND our two guides.  See below.

The tour took about an hour and was a good overview of the sights to be seen.

Dinner was at Cincin (1154 Robson St) recommended by my friend Gail.  This was another excellent meal.  Maybe Gail should team up with Chuck and Zara?

Tomorrow we head back to Seattle.   Now the only question is: Where did I put my passport?
