States are High

The first pic is of Vancouver outskirts and all the high rise units around the place they are everywhere.And we aren't even in the heart of the city either as all roads skirt around the centre to keep the congestion down very good thinking but a nightmare in peak hour similar to Brissy and Gold coast highway.
OK the Winter olympic games were held in Whistler in 2010 and it has now been turned into a vibrant hub for the winter sport people and a nice quiet little town 123km north of Vancouver.
We arrived and straight away it is a stunning drive up and the town is a picture of mountains along with bike riders skiers and snow boarders walking around town at times with their gear.
The pics in the shop is a Walmart store in Richmond Vancouver yeah two stories of it and 60 yes 60 checkout of all descriptions,we were here for new small case to bring stuff home as me being a Ret Veteran our overweight bags and any little carry on ones can go in cargo for nothing just because I am a Veteran wow don't get that in Aussie land,yep makes me feel really chuffed to be recognised and treated like that by strangers.
The pics of the river and the huge rock formation is coming back.The buses here are all electric and run with poles touching the wires aver head looks like a huge bug with antennas on its back will try and get a pic of one tomorrow.
We are sorcing maple syrup lollies and maple cream biscuits to bring home so be ready to taste test OK just saying have not tried either but from all accounts they are delicious.Weiterlesen
