A long over due update from way back when?

Hello Travelers,
 I just got to thinking it's been a long enough time that I should share a about my past vacation in someway from this past May that I had left a wide gap of a whole week open for. So let's begin with what weekend it was which was May fourth, and as you know if your a sci-fi fan of any kind that day is dedicated to Star Wars fans the world over, more later on what i found in hotel room once we got to Vancouver. An even though we my folks and I were on a train on our way over to Vancouver Canada from after turning in our rental car  in Seattle at the airport and waiting from 
 












four thirty till six o'clock, in the train station for it coming from the state of Oregon so we could rest on it on the rest of the night.  Here are a couple of shots of the interior car that we rode in and 

while trying to read some of of The Hobbit I also happen to snap this grand sun set.
 

 









 
That thing over Chuck's head from the interior car image happens to be 

a map guide because the conductor  of the train knew that they had sleepy passengers on board and had no need for irate people mad because of lack of ZZZZ. We eventually pulled into Vancouver's train station at fifteen minutes till midnight, we then gathered our bags and went through customs to enter Canada, we then grab a taxi from the train station to our hotel which was a Hamilton Inn. We got up on the next morning and planned our day. It was at that time Star Wars fans are you ready for this that I found this 

in a little travel guide of the city of Vancouver, pretty cool huh? We had a quick little Continental breakfast then we took a tour of the whole city, we got on a trolley and saw some interesting parts of the city.  The tour started by going through Vancouver's "China Town" 
 










 

district
, then by the water front pier

, and by a couple of neat churches
 

then from there here are two parts of the city landscape that I can't find how to put into words other than beautiful 
 

 .
Finally  a little Americana 

thrown in for good measure. Then we went looking for a sun hat for me before we went and ate at this great little Tia/Curry  restaurant     

 which full of get Asian art of many kinds

 Mom felt a wee bit sick so she went back to the hotel which was just a couple of blocks away, then shortly a hour or so Chuck and I went to go souvenir shopping or at least idea wise 

anyway. On the way back to the hotel ourselves we saw this Sherman tank 

and this Cannon outside 

of the city's old military recruitment area. Believe you me there is a story you won't wanna miss the next time we come to visit Vancouver Canada for sure.....

To be continued.....
