day 1:This is the last stop on this trip across Canada, Vancouver. this is a great city with so many things to do. Today is the first day of the Olympics, what a coincidence! we will be going to see the opening ceremony's. It is so great that Canada gets to host the Olympics and honor our country by (hopefully) doing great.

day 2: Today we will be going to Stanley park.

Stanley Park is recognized around the globe as one of the great parks of the world! Vancouver's first park and one of the city's main tourist attractions, Stanley Park is an evergreen oasis of 400 hectares (1,000 acres) close to the downtown core. Its natural west coast atmosphere offering a back drop of majestic cedar, hemlock and fir trees embraces visitors and transports them to an environment rich in tranquility. The park abounds in wildlife and its features appeal to the naturalist, the plant lover or one who would do nothing more than relax in beautiful surroundings.(4)

Stanley park is such a great place there is lots of wildlife,trees and things to do!
