Vancouver, Day 2.

Whoops! I guess my promise to try to post these quickly never happened! Here they are now, the rest of Vancouver!


(I could go into a long paragraph about why I've not been posting as much as I like, but maybe I'll save that for a post later! Things to share!)


This building was on Granville Road, heading towards the bridge. I loved the windows in it, and there was a neat mural painted on the side.

Walking onto Granville Island. I really enjoyed the market and shops there, and I'm so glad it was recommended to me!

Vancouver

I've had every intention of keeping up with my blog, and getting back into writing more often. And then classes started. I'm taking a full course load this quarter, on top of working (okay, I don't work that much, but still) and doing training for a volunteer program through the Puget Sound Partnership and my local RFEG (that would be regional fisheries enhancement group). So keeping very busy.


But I've had these photos from a trip to Vancouver I took in September on my desktop, and I realized I should probably at least try to post them! I went up only for a short trip, got up there on a Friday afternoon and came back Saturday evening. My primary reason for heading up there was to see Neko Case perform. She's one of my favorite musicians, so when I heard she was doing a tour with her new album, of course I had to get a ticket! It was an amazing show, and a great excuse to make a brief visit to a city that is so close to me, and that I never really visit.


So long story short, here are a few photos! These are from Friday, when I didn't take very many. I'm not sure what the first one is about, but I thought it was interesting! The other two are from the Orpheum Theatre. Beautiful building, with a lot of fascinating features.


I will try to make another post soon about Saturday (the day of lots of walking)!
