Bestest buddies... Out for a drink or two after a long day of congress sessions.
Out dining at an interesting Japanese restaurant in Gastown. Despite some of us knowing a bit of Japanese, we managed to embarrass ourselves by ordering one dish each and then not knowing whether to share them or not. In any case the food was tasty and we had fun! Unique about this restaurant was that whenever guests entered or left, one of the waiters would shout something in Japanese and then all the other waiters and the chefs would reply. We do not have a clue what they were shouting, though...

The Capilano suspension bridge crossing the Capilano river some 70 meters below. Originally made from hemp rope it has since been reinforced with steel cables. Supposedly this bridge will support over 1100 people. Walking across it you can clearly feel it swaying under your feet.
A pond on the other side of the Capilano river. This site also houses the Treetop Adventure consisting of shorter suspension bridges linking the tree tops of giant cedar and hemlock trees.

Relaxing at a café in Whistler Village, enjoying the sunshine. 30 mins. later the cloud building in the distance brought rain, though it cleared again before we left.
