 Urban Pulse: Vancouver

I worked in the Vancouver, B.C. for over 10 years and loved being able to see all the sites.  I was able to experience this beautiful city by the ocean: stroll along its shores, sunbath on the beaches and shop at the boutique stores nearby. I would look out at the sparkly waters of Burrard Inlet from my desk in downtown Vancouver and watch the boats traversing to and fro on sun shiny days. The mountains were a spectacular backdrop to my view. Stanley Park, with its majestic trees and lush, green lawns, was nearby - walking along the 5.5 mile Seawall -- a paved walkway following the water's edge --was a favorite lunch time pastime.  People strolling along, power walking, running, cycling or just sitting relaxing.  There are many highly trendy areas with their unique shops and restaurants.  Flowers were abundant - cherry blossoms and magnolias in the early spring, daffodils & tulips in the spring,  vibrant colors of rhododendrons & azaleas  and roses & hydrangeas in the summer & fall.  It is a multicultural metropolis with many ethnic groups therefore one can dine on authentic cuisine from different countries. Dim Sum in Chinatown for example.  The transit system is amazing - even better than many cities.  One can go from downtown Vancouver to North Vancouver by SeaBus or by Sky Train from the Vancouver's International Airport to downtown Vancouver, or even take it into the country.  Two ferry terminals transport vehicles and passengers to certain islands in Puget Sound or take a bigger ferry to Vancouver Island where the city of historic Victoria is located.  Hiking, boating, and fishing keeps many the adventurer relishing their life pleasures.  Whether you're craving city sophistication or outdoor thrills, Vancouver delivers.
