Experiencing a rain forest firsthand!

Day 8

It rained today. A lot .. all day. Not a downpour, just a steady drizzle of rain. Just enough to make doing anything outside (which is what we wanted to do) annoying as heck.

We did do a few things .. we went over to Lynn Canyon park to walk around. A free park of B.C. where you could hike around, see some more cascading water and cross yet another suspension bridge (albeit much short then the Capilano one). Oddly this area is where they are building a new water filtration plant and connecting with the Capilano river (a few miles west) via twin pipes.

After a few hours of walking around in the rain ..we had enough. Went back to the hotel to chill out and find something else to do. There really wasn't much else we wanted to see or do without being outside. So we just went over to West Vancouver and found an italian restaurant (Presto Past and Rustic Pizza) to have dinner.

We came back to the hotel, packed for leaving tomorrow and researched some things to do in Seattle on our way back to the airport.

Then we watched some TV and got to watch Grey's Anatomy. And I watched that "Life on Mars" show which is slowing hooking me in.
