The Hohengartens invade Canada

Where can you find delicious food, beautiful hikes and tons of attractive people?
Why, Vancouver of course!
Vancouver, British Columbia that is.
We made the 5 hour drive up to Vancouver last weekend and had a blast!
After checking into our hotel, we road our bikes to Stanley Park.
The path around the park was so beautiful.
The next day we went to a vegan bakery for breakfast and then to Granville Island.
We really enjoyed walking around the market and the beautiful island. 

After the island, we visited "the drive". Here we had a delicious lunch and walked around cool little shops. My sweet friend Dalene recommended that we visit the Sweet Cheribim Bakery so we stopped by. It was so delicious! I had a nanaimo bar which is a very Canadian treat- so good!
We walked around downtown and saw the damage done by the rioters. There were tons of love notes written to Vancouver all over the damage. A lot of the people we met were deeply saddened by the rioting and the damage, this seemed to be a wide spread sentiment...

We walked around Gastown which I guess is kinda like old town? 
It was there that I encountered my first Mountie.
We had a blast!
On our way home we stopped in Seattle for some lunch at our favorite place: Wayward Vegan Cafe.
After that we got some treats at Pikes Place including Turkish Delight which I very much enjoyed!
It was a fabulous weekend- we can't wait for more adventures!
