I have been fortunate in that Sunset has given me the opportunity to represent all of Canada for the publication. I took my first of hopefully many trips up North to do some meetings in Vancouver and Victoria. I had a fantastic time and I’m hoping for some Canada business in the upcoming issue.
I had a meeting with the Pan Pacific, and I was a few minutes early, so I took the opportunity to take in their amazing view.
Next up was lunch on the move. I bought the Tacotino. It was yummy!
This guy tried to snatch some for himself.
I had to drive to Burnaby for my next meeting, then back downtown. I put on my gym clothes and headed out to explore Vancouver. It was gorgeous sunny day, so I walked through downtown and across the Granville Bridge to Granville Island.
My destination was the Granville Island Market. You can see it below with all of the water taxis.
It was fantastic. Piles of berries, fresh bagels for a buck, and buckets and buckets of beautiful flowers.
I was cracking up on the way back when I saw this beat up apartment representing their Olympic message. Not the best face if you ask me.
I explored Yaletown next & had a nice dinner.
Day two of meetings started with a super early morning. I was up a 5 and on the 7 am ferry to Victoria. The ride was slow, but very scenic and the ferry winded it’s way through the islands.
While there, I did some exploring and found a fantastic store in their Chinatown area.
The floors were worn in a way that makes you think about the history of the place.
There was the sweetest shop kitty that I wanted to take home with me.
I wanted those little shorts, but I resisted.
I bought this little Giraffe instead for Hannah. We’re calling it Raphi.
I had the best Chinese food ever with Pam and her friend Sam.
On the last day, I packed up and headed to Granville Island where I found the most amazing coffee shop and had quick breakfast before I hit the road. I’m normally not the type to take photos of my food, but the coffee was just so perfect that I snapped this quick shot.
I’m looking forward to next time…
