Capilano Suspension Bridge & The Waterfront Market in Vacouver, Ay!

After an awesome day in Downtown Vancouver, we were hoping for some better weather when we set out for the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Fortunately for us, it wasn't raining but it was a bit cold for my liking, so we bundled up and head out on the town. We took the RV around the area and first headed up to Grouse Mountain to find out if the slopes were open. Which unfortunately with all the bad weather they were having the mountain wouldn't open up til next week, but no worries, we were able to check out a wolf habitat on site so the day wasn't a complete loss.

After checking out the baby white wolf, we headed over to see the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Which is this crazy, you guessed it, simple suspension bridge that crosses over the Capilano River. There is a huge local native presence with totem poles and there is a cool path that leads to these treetop adventures where you're up in the trees like the Swiss Family Robinson. Pretty neato if ya ask me.

We left the Capilano bridge but not before receiving our certificate proving that we had hit every part of the park and experienced it all. We get pretty competitive like that. Headed over to check out some thrift stores and stumble upon this awesome waterfront market that overlooks Downtown Vancouver. We walked up this huge flight of stairs on this lookout tower to get a better view. Took a few snapshots and headed down, trying not to slip on the wet metal stairs and land in the harbor. We walked down towards the market and what did we see...The Golden Arches. But not just any golden arches, a Canadian one.

I told Ryan that if my awesome experience from sampling McDonald's in Europe was correct and that it actually tastes good and doesn't leave you feeling like crap afterwards than it would have to be the same in Canada. I mean it is another country. So for the sake of science, we did it. We tried Canadian McDonalds and it was amazing! Now I know what you Americans who haven't traveled to other countries and ever sampled McDonalds are thinking: yeah right! But when I tell you that it is purely scientific you have no choice but to believe in science. I mean, think about it, they use local farming and believe me when I say that I am sure the FDA regulations are far more strict than USA. So there...you don't have to take my word for it, just either go to Europe or Canada and see for yourself.

After we devoured our gourmet mcD's, we suddenly had a surprise burst of energy, not at all what we expected and proceeded to walk around town and check out the local shops. After a few hours of walking and our mcD's energy wore off, we headed back to the RV to gear up to get the heck back to the good ol' US of A!!!
