Day 5

This day we decided to take some time and go through Stanley Park. Up to this point I wasn't really sure what I thought of Vancouver. The traffic was horrible and really nothing had been too special about it. But, Stanley Park changed this perception. We drove through the park from place to place. We stopped to look at gardens, hike trails in the forest, and hike trails by the ocean and along beaches. We saw a pair of Bald Eagles fly into some tall pine trees and we sat and waited for almost an hour for them to move again, but they refused to put on a show for us. We saw an otter on a rock munching on something crunchy. Raccoons, swans, and black squirrels were some of the other wildlife we saw along the way. This park is truly an amazing place in Vancouver.
