Evening at UBC

     A pesar de que llevábamos prácticamente una semana con densas nubes sobre Vancouver, este fin de semana el cielo se ha despejado y el sol nos ha iluminado toda la tarde de domingo. ¿Algún plan mejor que ir al Campus de la Universidad de British Columbia y contemplar la puesta de sol? No lo creo! ...desafortunadamente se me acabo la batería para el momento de la puesta de sol, pero bueno, al menos pude sacar fotos durante la tarde, aquí va una selección de ellas:

Gastown by Night

     If Gastown is already pretty beautiful during the day, at night it becomes even nicer! It is like a journey to the past, and to walk on the streets under trees with string lights is just beautiful. 

     (I keep apologizing for the bad quality of some photos) 

Capilano Suspension Bridge

     What an awesome weekend! ...is there another better way to spend a thanksgiving weekend? ...I don't think so: Aquario, Kitsilano and today Capilano! Today it was really amazing, yes, it took a time until we decided that we would go to Capilano Suspension Bridge, the ticket was a little bit expensive but it was completely worthwhile! ...nice nature and a breathtaking view from above the bridge down to the river. There were a lot of different things we could do, like the cliffwalk, the treetop adventure or the raptors ridge, but of course, the main attraction was the suspension bridge! Take a look at the fotos:

                                     

                                       

Kitsilano

     Yeeeessssss! Finally a day off! ...well, I was actually asked to work yesterday evening in the store but I just had to do what my parents told me to do: don't be working the whole time, you are here to work AND travel, and it is not all about earning money (which is an important part of this experience because without money you won't be able to travel that far). Whatever, I took my camera with me and two friends and we went to Kitsinalo by bus... I always wanted to see this part of Vancouver which has a nice street with some shops and nice trees on each side. And because traveling is about doing things you don't always plan previously, we just had the idea of buying some chocolate and strawberries and sit next to the water with views to Downtown. The nice weather, the people and the fact that life can be so nice, made the day of yesterday just perfect!

     Oh, by the way... HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :-)

Vancouver Aquario

     Uno no puede estar siempre trabajando... Por eso decidí ayer hacer algo por mi cuenta, y como el tiempo estaba bueno decidí ir al Aquario de Vancouver, en Stanley Park. Aunque la entrada era un poco cara creo que mereció la pena: poder ver tantas especies (no sólo marinas) diferentes te hace darte cuenta de lo maravilloso que es nuestro planeta y de lo importante que es que contribuyamos todos a su conservación! Aquí van algunas fotos:
