Well it’s March now and the next climbing season is approaching. I’m also thinking about this year’s trip already so I think I am going to scoot through the remaining bits of the trip just to get it done. Next year it will really have to be more of an ongoing effort.

Day 16
Vancouver, Leslie; The aquarium; Comfort Inn
Saturday found Zak and I awaiting Leslie on Granville Island, Vancouver
[Image lost in the big crash :-(]

After a quick visit we decided on Lunch at Feenies (Chef Rob Feenie’s lunch spot beside Luminiare) and then headed to the Aquarium as we always do.

After a great afternoon we headed off to find a place to stay for the night. Unfortunately this took us all the way out to the airport to the Comfort Inn (and it tweren’t too comfie…).
