Day 6: Vancouver, BC + Portland, Or

Miles: 315

Accommodations: Friends

Food: Chipotle ($7.50/person) + street soups (Free)

Highlights: Exploring Vancouver was a blast. The city is home to some beautiful parks and waterfronts. Geoff grabbed a map and navigated us around the city; as we were in a foreign land, we could not use cell phones. The cuisine was definitely the craziest part. Jk... Chipotle. We were, however, making jokes all day after someone in the group mentioned that Vancouver is rated as one of the most livable cities in the world. Any time we saw or experienced something nice, we commented on how it truly is the most livable place on earth. Well this was really confirmed by some company handing out soup to passerbys. They gave us something like 8 containers of soup, thus forever proving Vancouver to be the nicest. That night we headed back to Portland. The family of a friend of Geoff and John's was kind enough to host us in their luxury barn. You guys. It was SO cool. We were spoiled rotten on this trip by generosity and with incredible accommodations!

We did it!


All about the seawall. 

Vancouver, city of birds?

Are we in a city, or are we in a forest? 

Answer: Both.

He's smiling because his backpack is full of free soup. 
Heck, we're all smiling. 

The men of Mancouver.
Aka my week in a nutshell. 

Vancouver loves its natives.

Just about the only thing we spent money on... A tropical plant/bird house in the middle of one of Vancouver's more famous parks. Because, why not.
