Vancouver- better then the rest or Canada but still a lot worse then america

We woke up just outside Whistler this morning, and began are daly drive at about ten. On the drive down the windy road to vancouver, are breaks caught fire. After waiting for the brakes to cool we pushed on like molasses in the winter and finally got to Vancouver. The last 10 miles on the hwy. were amazing and it rivaled the view of the driving to girdwood. Vancouver on the other hand , was not amazing. When we pulled in we went straight to the city center and parked to walk around. We went to a flea market that was pretty cool and we where quite enjoying ourselves when the lack of food and sleep began to quickly grind down on our already sensitive moods. We drove around the rather shady parts of the city for the next hour until we found a little grocery. As the rest of Canada, it was expensive, small, and reminded you of something america, just less good. WE picked up some bread , cheese and meat, and set out for the park to have our little picknick. We sat on the crowded park in downtown and ate. Surrounded by homeless people we ate are humble meal in relative silence. to fill the void of entertainment while i ate, i watched a particular homeless man. he had on a harley davinson leather vest and was sitting about 25 yard from us on one of the park walls. he had a small dog dressed in a superman cape and was attempting to feed it pieces of a banana. the dog, who wasnt havin any of it, was stnding five feet away and was just barking. after about fifteen minuets of this are meal was over. the smell of weed was slowly crawlin down the slope of hill from a slightly younger group of homeless people who were enjoying a little afternoon smoke above where we were sitting . on this note, we got back in van and decided to go on to seattle. On our way out we got lost for about an hour or two in the crazy suburbs. it didn't help that half the building sighs were in chinese. we got back on the road and got through the border easier then before. Right now im siting in the whole foods parking lot in seattle and we are going to explore tomorrow.
We hope to have pictures soon.
