Day 4 No Mile....Just Enjoying Vancouver



Today the girls traded in their two wheels for buses, subways and cabs as they took the day to enjoy the city of Vancouver. People in the hotel told the girls they must not miss the largest mall in the world and they said it was a quick bus and subway ride to the mall.

Now, those of you who know Biff, know she has a fear of riding BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and is convinced each time she rides it she will magically end up in Fresno….(no…BART does not go to Fresno….just Biff irrational fear). So the thought of taking a Canadian version of BART brought up visions of Fresno or even more horrifying…ending up in Walesa Alaska…….But Biff was reassured that Super Sheri would successfully guide her to the mall and she did.
The mall…..it was a mall, big, lots of stores, beautiful dolphin water fountain and beautiful flowers all over. Biff was mighty excited when she found the loveliest leather bag and even more exciting was the green tea crème puff…yummmm
Of course the girls did have to make a stop at the local Harley Dealership. It was pretty cool comlete with a min muesuem with lots of old bikes and great sales!! Whoopie!!!
Oh and don’t worry even though the girls were having a bikeless day they did find “oddities.”
Right next to the girl’s hotel was a huge park where the PNE festival was occurring. This was one of Canada’s largest festivals and it was the 100th anniversary. This was the perfect place for the girls to spend the afternoon and evening…and of course find some oddities!!!
Those Canadians are mighty creative. Imagine what they can do with tin cans….even build a huge pig!!! And at the fair they had about twenty storage containers filled with art installations!!
The girls were privilege to see real live lumberjacks chop and saw wood, jugglers, ballerinas, amazing and castles and even “super” dogs doing all kinds of tricks and running agility courses. The dogs were the best part of the day.
OH and who knew, Canadians are as much in love with deep fried crap as are Americans…..yummmm funnel cakes and deep fried snickers bars……..
