When you mention Vancouver, anyone who’s visited replies that it’s a beautiful city. No doubt the beautiful greenspace in Stanley Park contributes to that image.  The park has a long shoreline with endless paths to the different beaches and points of interest such as the totem poles or the aquarium.  If we had done our research, we would have rented bikes before entering the park and could have seen a lot more than we managed on foot. Oh well. We got the idea, but were so exhausted we had to call a cab to get back to the hotel.
For mid-September, we were a bit surprised that some of the leaves were begining to turn.
