We traveled over the mountains and up to British Columbia last weekend, to visit friends who come frequently to our little valley. I didn’t take many pictures, but we had lovely weather and did a lot of walking (and eating…)
One of the highlights of the trip was going to Granville Island on Sunday morning for breakfast, and to wander about and see the shops and studios there. To get back to downtown Vancouver, we took the Aquabus, which offers a lovely and different perspective on the city:
We hadn’t visited Vancouver in about 15 years, and how the skyline has changed! There are numerous apartment/condominium buildings downtown, and we were amazed by how many restaurants there were. I guess a lot of the people who live downtown eat out all the time.
My favorite find at Granville Island was the Silk Weaving Studio. There are 7 weavers and it is a working studio, with looms and fiber everywhere (all silk), and many beautiful items for sale.
We also enjoyed Coastal Peoples Fine Art Gallery, which has 2 shops, one in Gastown and one in Yaletown. Inuit Gallery of Vancouver also had some beautiful things, but Coastal Peoples was our favorite.
