The Salmon Ladder

October 10, 2007

It's not actually a ladder, but it's where the salmon jump up the rapids to get upstream. This was worth the hike up into Ketchikan. But because it's tough to get a photo of a salmon in the air we

Our condo in Vancouver

October 5, 2007

We looked at hotels several times and we couldn't decide where we wanted - a lot of the really nice hotels run over $400 a night. So I looked online and found a condo for rent right on Expo Blvd. It

Capilano Suspension Bridge

We are home!
