Cross Canada Trekking - Part 10 [The Second Day of Stay in The VANCITY 🚐]

avatar
(Edited)

Ah yes, Vancouver, known informally as VAN CITY, or VANSCHHE(I just made that second one up. But yes, an interesting city, Nestled in amongst the ocean, some forests and the mountains. Quite a lot to do there. A lot of sights to take in for sure. This was the day that we stumbled into the DTES (the Downtown East Side) where there are a lot of substance abuse issues. I think that just doing 'touristy' things tends to wear me out, and this day was no different. I think also seeing the DTES kinda put me in a bit of a depressive slump too. I was just so blown away by what I had seen there. But I'm not going to re-post those pictures here since I already made a dedicated post about that.

Technically the day started off for me in the Trailer Park we were staying at. Well, according to my camera EXIF settings in the pictures. I can't remember if I had remembered to properly adjust the time on my camera to account for the change in the time zones. I certrainly don't remember it being past midnight when I was taking these photos, but for sake of simplicity, I'm just going to run with it.

That’s a plenty beautiful pictures which portrays how really had a great fun. I also have not where they write on a signpost that fog should not urinate. This shows that there is great number of dogs in that area .

I know, right... they must have had some sort of problem with the pissing. But who knows though, there was a lot of parts of that city that smelled like it, who knows if it's dog or human 🀣 Maybe that's just a 'nice' way of saying it πŸ˜‰

πŸ€” I thought as much but either each way the most important thing is that you had a fun filled day and enjoy the place.
