A day in the park, Harmony Arts Festival, Vancouver Lookout & Birch Bay

Day 10, August 1

We had a wonderful time at West Vancouver, British Columbia. Our hosts were very hospitable and welcoming to two people they had never met. Much thanks and appreciation to Tom and Eppie. 


We departed their residence at around 10:30am and checked out a few more places. We checked out a local park and walked around the beach coast. My brother and I enjoyed some good ole ultimate Frisbee until I got tired. We then checked out the Harmony Arts Festival which hosted a variety of local artistic talents. As we made our way back to the car, we passed by two local kids shooting some hoops. I asked if we could shoot around with them, but instead the two kids challenged us to a pick-up game. We obliged. We won the first game, lost the second, and took the third for the win. My brother did good for the most part.



 
Our next stop was Downtown Vancouver and we checked out the Vancouver Lookout. Up in the lookout, we saw the whole downtown area, the Pacific Ocean, North and West Vancouver, Mount Hood in Oregon from a distance, and other surrounding cities. Afterwards, we visited a train and seabus station and had some lunch next door. After lunch, we left for Washington and stopped at Birch Bay. At Birch Bay, we enjoyed the view and challenged each other of who could skip rocks better.
