Grouse Mountain to be precise, via the 'skyride' - a cable car to you and me....
it was mums first ride in a cable car (I think) so she was pretty nervous but its like a bus so no too traumatic. Well done Ma.
the view's pretty good up here - you can see Mount Baker in Washington State - mind you, its visible from anywhere in Vancouver on a clear day - well, it was a good view of it from here.
It's a doment volcano y'know - in the same chain as Mt St Helens - sometimes you can see it steaming.... all together now "ooooooooooo"
its a ski hill in winter but in the summer its home to local hikers as well as tourists
here we are trying to keep Ma's mind off the cable car ride ;-)
it was great for me to have Kiyoka and Mum meet - just a shame Aachal couldnt be there too :-(
they have a cool bird show
(yes, feathered variety thank you very much)
although today the falcon wasnt behaving and decided to just sit on top of a building!
oh, and they have two resident grizzly bears too
if you're in town, check it out
