    Though seeing professional sports live is a bit pricey for my tastes, it's something very special to a lot of people.

    The Vancouver Canucks are a very good team the past few seasons and often provide a lively game to watch.

    Though far from capturing the attention of the majority of Canadians, lawn bowling definitely has a contigent of devoted followers!

    There are a few clubs scattered throughout Vancouver which you might want to check out.

    I do confess that I don't know the rules at this time. Though in 20 years I might be tempted to join! :-)

  • Theme: Boating/Sailing

    Cooper Boating lets locals and visitors charter sailboats and powerboats from their central Granville Island Marina. The very friendly staff went out of their way to help a friend of mine visiting from California.

    Too many people who set foot in Vancouver never get out into the amazing ocean that is so much a part of what the city is all about!

  • A scene from the Grouse Grind

  • Theme: Hiking

    The Grouse Grind has become a very popular hiking trail for Vancouverites and visitors alike. You can read an interesting story about it here.

    The trail goes take you up an elevation of 800 metres, over a total distance of 2,900 metres.

    It's not for everyone. Be sure you're in relatively good shape, have water and a cel phone with you, and don't start too late in the day. And by all means, be dressed for a hike, not to go dancing!

    When you get to the top you can either climb back down or pay $5.00 to take the gondola back down.

     I really enjoyed the political quiz you recommended. My scores were -5.0 and -0.92, similar to Mandela and the Dalai Lama! What does that mean?!?

     Hey Rob, I'm going to be in Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympics and Balfor told write you and maybe get some good info.

     Hey, Robert...it was nice to meet you and your Mom at the Ft.Worth vt meet. Sometime before the end of the year we hope to see some of Vancouver--as I was researching it, your page came up...I guess we'll be coming from Seattle. Can't wait!
