We arrived back in Vancouver on Friday night and spent the next three days in the city visiting family and friends.  I also got a bridge game in with my cousin Leslie which was lots of fun.  We didn't do a lot of touring but I did take a few pictures of the city.

We had lunch at Granville Island and I took this shot from outside.

We went for a drive one afternoon and ended up in Burnaby  at a scenic overlook of Vancouver- it was a pretty hazy/cloudy day.   

This shot was taken from Marine Drive in Vancouver which overlooks the Fraser River.

 This shot was taken from Queen Elizabeth Park.  You can see downtown and the lights of " The Cut"  on  Grouse Mountain.   While growing up in this city I spent most of my winter skiing at Grouse.  

This shot was taken from Jericho Beach just before sunset on our final night in Vancouver.   Downtown is in the background.

A view of downtown as it got darker.  I noticed that people are enjoying standing on a flat surfboard  and paddling as you can see on the left side of the picture.  

I walked on the other side towards the pier to take a few shots.  There was some nice color in the skies.

One of the last shots of the night- you can see the people on these surfboards.
