Festival time in Vancouver

Saturday 23rd June

Not much in the way of kayaking yet, but this blog is starting to look like a food blog, particularly today!

This morning we took the little False Creek Ferry boat across to Granville Island to go to the market. The market has great fesh food - notably fish - salmon is a feature, and berries & cherries. Wild Salmon tonight on the BBQ.

Vancouver is a festival city over summer. We visited the Strawberry Festival around the corner from Diane's place. It is a little community market. Big plate of Strawberry Shortcake for $5.We then went into Robson for the Vancouver Jazz Festival and listened to one of the acts.
