North Van is a truly beautiful place. It is clean (cleaner than Vancouver), very near to the mountains and you can see the snowcapped mountain at an arm's length. We didn't go too far in, were just exploring the beach (there is a beach called Mosquito creek - yaiks). And I was immediately in love with Lonsdale Quay Market. It was a market that has everything: Italian deli, Fishmonger with fresh fat salmon displayed proudly, colorful bellpeppers, minimelts, Artisan wine shop, Chinese bead marts... and free fresh air! Nope, no fish smell.



We took a stroll along the beach... That's Chiba Garden, a small Japanese Garden by the sea. The back drop is the city of Vancouver






Hey, it's nice to have a park bench as your memorial plate, yeah?




"Relax, and enjoy life"




A fraction of romanticism. I always wonder when do they use Dusk and Dawn nowadays. All I see is digits.




Sailor's Point




International Water...




This is the dock that separates Mosquito Creek and Waterfront Park (where I was). And it's amazing to have a mountain that near to the bay. Call me anything but I've never seen such view before!




This is a small resting place at the jetty. The sun is setting in a few hours, and the city across the water is Vancouver.




Hello, Spring.
