Capilano Suspension Bridge

Today we went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The bridge is suspended 230ft above the Capilano River and stretches for 450ft. It is located between two forests randomly placed in Vancouver. I am learning that Vancouver has a lot of random forests. We spent about 2 hours at the bridge (walking around and climbing in the treetop adventure), and then we went to get lunch on Robson Street. We ate a Sushi Tsunami - yes, I actually ate sushi. They had a really cool buffet, in which they placed the food on boats and you could just pick what you wanted. It was a neat idea and atmosphere. After lunch we went to Gastown and walked around there and shopped for an hour or so. I started to poop out so we went back to the hotel to relax for the rest of the evening. It was another great day and I look forward to what tomorrow brings. I think we may rent bikes and ride around Stanley park, but we will see. Here are some pictures from the day (I thought I would enlarge the pictures a little).
