Vancouver Trip - Day 3

We started the day off with a buffet breakfast in the downstairs of our hotel. It was very good, but pretty damn pricey for a breakfast. After breakfast, we took a walk to Stanley Park. Along the way, we found ourselves about 20 ft from two Vancouver Police officers who were walking as well. We also happened to be enjoying some of the goods we had acquired the night before - so that was a bit of a close call.

We decided to go to the Aquarium today, which was only about a 2-3mile walk from our hotel. I guess everybody else had the great idea of going to the Aquarium on Easter Sunday, because that place was extremely crowded. It was still a very good time, and we were both glad we had lifted our spirits shortly before entering. That really made handling the crowd of tourists much easier.

After going through the Aquarium, we walked back into town, and went to a Mongolian BBQ for lunch. I've got to say it was pretty relieving to have a 7$/person meal as opposed to 15-25. The food was exactly what you'd suspect a mongolian BBQ to be.

Mary needed some decent walking shoes, so we stopped at a store on our way back to the hotel so she could get some.

Both of us are definitely not used to walking for extended periods of time, because as soon as we were back in our room, we passed out from about 5pm-11pm. There really isn't much to do in Vancouver at 11pm on Easter Sunday, so we spent a few hours watching canadian TV before we fell back asleep
