Entering Stanley Park in Vancouver.


The Best Western Sands by the Sea is just a door or two up Davie Street from this Starbucks. We ate at the Bayside Lounge directly above Starbucks.










Much of Stanley Park is a sequoia forest.




Lunch at the Sequoia Grill was fabulous!


Vancouver's Sky Train.


Vancouver's railroad station - Pacific Central.






We're on the Amtrak Cascades on our way out of Vancouver headed for Seattle. This was a three-car train: two coaches and a very nice new lounge/cafe car in the middle. And they had Black Butte Porter! Via Rail is the Canadian passenger rail service.










It was a beautiful day in the northwest, and it seemed like everyone was outside enjoying the sunshine.


The Peace Arch at the Canadian/U.S. border. Note the flags of both countries. The customs stop was at Blaine, Washington.














The train station at the City of Mount Vernon, Washington.
