After a minor delay at the border due to an old driving
infraction of Scott's, we arrived in the beautiful city of
Vancouver on a sunny, warm evening - absolutely gorgeous!
Upon making our way thorough the city, we arrived at our hotel
for the next 4 nights, the Westin Bayshore Resort and Marina.
And wow, what a hotel!!! We had decided to use Priceline
to book a
hotel and were surprised when we ended up in a beautiful
7th-floor room overlooking the marina and a heavily treed
section of Stanley Park beyond. Upon entering our room, we
were greeted by a huge fluffy white bed and sliding glass doors
opening up to the amazing view, sunlight pouring into the room.
The room was expensive but hey, everything here is expensive
and, all things considered, it seems like a great value (and our
only real splurge of this trip). The weather this morning is
probably more typical: cloudy, drizzly and about 66 degrees, but
we were prepared for this (in fact, it is a bit of a relief
after the hot, sunny, dry days we experienced in Montana and
eastern Washington) and are off to explore the city anyway! |
