Vancouver by Foot - Part II - Chinese Garden in the Rain

Since it has been raining heavily and non-stop in Seattle lately, I am regularly reminded of the day we walked around Vancouver's Chinatown. We were pulling our luggage and carrying our cameras, in the rain! but determined to shoot the neighborhood. In the distance we saw just a sliver of the Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden and set out for it, not knowing what it was but hoping to find something photogenic and maybe a roof to get under.

Vancouver by Foot - Part I

I love the authenticity of exploring a city by foot. You discover places beyond tourists, joining natives in their daily lives.

We recently went to Vancouver, BC by train, for just a couple days around the U2 360 concert. I also have 4 GB of photos from the show to process! and I will have to share our trip over multiple photo posts.

This set begins on the train from Seattle, yes that was the view! and shows where we stayed in and around Gastown, downtown, and a bit of Yaletown. In the little time we were there, we also walked to Granville Island market, enjoyed Chinatown and a traditional park there, and of course U2, so I will share more soon. Hover over the shots to see their titles.


The early weekday train from Seattle to Vancouver is quiet, clean, and just a fun ride!
