There was a really slow start to Friday morning. The day on Grouse Mountain had taken its toll on my body. But there are still things to see and do and they include lunch and shopping on Granville Island. Granville Island was once an industrial manufacturing area, but is now a major tourist destination, providing amenities such as a public market, a large marina, a hotel, the Emily Carr University of Art and Design (named in honor of the artist), various theaters including the Arts Club Theatre Company and Carousel Theatre, and various shopping areas clustered around the one industrial outpost remaining, a cement plant.
Grouse Mountain – Vancouver, Aug 09
I do not like suspension bridges. Never have, don’t think I ever will. However, this is part of the deal if you are going to "do" Grouse Mountain. Sometimes you just have to "suck it up" so you don’t miss life. We decided to do a 6 hour tour for Grouse Mountain which included a Capilano Salmon Hatchery, The Skyride, other entertainment and a ride back to Vancouver on the SeaBus.
Deeley Motorcycle Exhibition – Aug 09
While browsing through the tourist sites for Vancouver I happened upon the Deeley Motorcycle Exhibition. Now motorcycles are not my thing but I am not the only person on this vacation. My husband Gene has been riding motorcycles since he was 14 years old. He loves the history of motorcycles. The current exhibition is focused on the rise and fall of the British motorcycle industry.
