Just some more views from our walk around Stanley Park. The city is smack dab between the mountains and the ocean, so you couldn't ask for a more picturesque location, I think they just need a bit more planning and zoning control since it looks like the developers have run amok here.

The apartment towers come to an abrupt end at Stanley Park, a huge, forested park jutting into the Pacific. It's got a great jogging path circling the park, some totem poles and huge evergreens. It's very tranquil, especially in the dead of winter. It started to rain while we were walking around, so we ducked into the aquarium in the middle of the park. As it turned out that didn't help much since the aquarium is mostly outdoors, but it was still pretty enjoyable. We spent almost one whole day walking around the entire park, and rarely saw anybody, probably because they weren't idiots and stayed indoors.
