1. Leaving Edmonds and heading up to Vancouver, BC for an overnighter. Aug. 13, 2009

2. One thing about taking the train, you certainly get to see the “underbelly” of America !!

3. However, you can’t beat it for being able to relax and enjoy the nicer parts of the scenery. It’s a 3 ½ hour trip. A little rain as we went just to remind us of home.

4. Eager to take photos, this clown just couldn’t wait to even get off the elevator at the Sheraton.

5. This photo is hard on the eyes – found this motor scooter outside a bank – the owner soon emerged looking much like his little bike !!

6. These eagles were all over. Each painted by a different artist and will be going up for sale next February. Some were pretty cool.

7. Love the reflections – new and the old.

8. Fountain in front of the Vancouver Art Museum.

11. North Tower of the Sheraton Hotel where we stayed.

12. Vancouver seems to have a real thing about waterfalls – they are all over the city.
