Gastown -

The Burrard bridge, 5 am -

The bay, 7 pm -

Went to the Vancouver aquarium…

got quite up, close and personal…

but this guy got a little too close -

saw some nice jelly fish -

some crocs (not the shoes!!!) -

and a frog that made the frogs in Costa Rica green with jealousy -

I also checked out the NHL (hockey) playoffs, where the Vancouver Canucks are right now in the west coast semifinals. I went to see game 5 of their first round series, and ran into a fan -

Well, after mentioning Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitski (sort of mentioned…) and Yao Ming in this blog, I felt that it’s only fair that Steve Nash, my favorite basketball player in the world, would get some credit too. As a British Columbia (went with my man MoShap to Victoria, Nash’s home town in Vancouver Island, about 2 weeks ago) native, Nash is naturally a Canucks (a nickname for Canadians) fan.

Overall, I had a great time snowboarding in Grouse and Whistler (again, thanks to my man MoShap), had a great time relaxing, and a fantastic family get together for פסח. As I set off to Toronto, and back to Israel in the near (hard to believe how near) future, I now know where I can go for some easy, quality get away time.

Editing my trip movie, this is what I have so far – check it:
