I was on vacation so I didn't have time to post the last few nights, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred 3 days ago (Sun 7/15/12).
We were in the northwest in the Washington State area for a few days so Matt and my 2 Chicago friends drove up to Canada for the day. We went to Vancouver British Columbia. First, we drove about 1 hour from the Bellingham WA north to through border patrol and to Vancouver. Then we walked around our hotel area in the Yaletown area for a bit to have some lunch on a patio with some live street music. Next we went to Stanley Park for some great views of the city and some cricket watching. Then we drove up to North Vancouver to Capilano Suspension Bridge. This is a suspension bridge built in 1889 crossing the Capilano River that is 446 feet long and 230 feet above the river. The original bridge was constructed of hemp rope and cedar planks, today's bridge is made of reinforced steel safely anchored in 118 tons of concrete. It is part of a private facility, with an admission fee (C$33.95/person), and draws over 800,000 visitors a year. The admission fee gives you access to the serenity of a West Coast rain-forest, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Treetops Adventure, Cliffwalk, Boardwalk, and Totem Park. The day offered a unique mix of adventure, history, and culture making this a complete British Columbia experience!
