Thumbs up Very Impressed Canadians.

Well, yesterday I came back from a 2 week Alaskan Cruise. I think I expected way too much awe and jaw dropping scenery, unfortunately I don't feel that my expectations were met so the trip was some what disappointing. But all in all I still enjoyed it; especially the 2 days we stayed in Vancouver BC, Canada. Now, THAT, was definitely the highlight of the trip.

I was very impressed at how clean and well maintained the city is. I shot a video of the city and the hotel I stayed in and the most enjoyable part was Stanley Park, which was without any doubt


Down below are some teaser pictures from the cruise for your enjoyment and here is the link to view them all. http://picasaweb.google.com/DaTerrorizer/AlaskanCruise#



















Here is the video of Vancouver BC; Don't forget to adjust your settings to 480p

The old lady has been begging to take me to Stanley Park, I have not been past Banff, AB. She also says it's an awesome place.

Glad we impressed.

Yup, we were so impressed we will go back and spend a week or two to explore more of the beauty of the country.

LOL, the only thing I didn't like, was that every time I payed for something, I got back fake money as change. Only way I could get rid of it was to give it to the beggars on the streets, they seemed very happy with it. If only they new it was fake money.

That's because all the gay people live out west, and 'those' beggars will accept anything.
Out here where I live, the beggars won't accept anything less than a TEN dollar bill; they have higher standards out this way, out west though, they will take a wooden nickle and do just about anything for it.

I prefer the higher class beggars, they dress and smell better.

We get those out here too, they call themselves politicians, but they come right to your door and beg, vs. standing around downtown with a guitar and a shoebox.

Make sure you add the Okanagan Valley to your itinerary. It's about a three hour drive from Vancouver. Great scenery, lots of orchards and vinyards with world class wines, world class skiing, world class golf courses and lots of beaches full of world class eye candy
Let me know when you're coming and we'll go golf. Habs can join us even tho he's always insulting us. He seems too be all hung up on the gay thing for some reason. It must be a Habibi/Bucky thing...

regards

Cool I'll make sure of that.

Which would be wise to drive up there the F150 or the expedition? I don't want to get hassled by the cops if the truck poses too much of an eye sore.

Here is the expe:

I am fair with my insults though, I share them equally between westerners and Quebec

No, I live in the city too, but here in SoCal if we get 8" of rain through the year it too much. It is very dry so hardly anything stays green or grows to well.

I'm in awe about seeing part of Canada because I know how to recognize beauty when I see it.

It's not that we don't have high rises here in SoCal but as a contractor myself I love architecture and what I saw in Vancouver was deferent and certainly beautiful architecture.

Here is some of my work
