Vancouver: Gas Town, Beach, and Karina's

We checked out a new, hip place in Vancouver called "Gas town". It's apparently a cool place to live and you could tell by the nice shops and fancy restaurants. We continued walking into the downtown area and over to the convention center, which you see in the picture. This city is beautiful!

We drove over to Kitslano beach and on the way passed a few blocks crammed with homeless people. It was an odd and sad sight to see since we witnessed a drug deal go down and one person smoking crack. Yikes!

Over at the beach, the view was amazing and we played catch for a long time. It was also a great place to people-watch and unwind. The view there was of North Vancouver.

Then we made it out to Karina's house, who we're staying with in Vancouver. We spent the evening working out the next few days (which you can read about in a following post) and then chatting with Karina, her boyfriend, and her uncle. It was a great time and we'd like to thank Karina once again for kindly letting us stay at her place!
