I like to walk around in harbors like this and browse through the shops and markets.<br /><br />While in San Francisco I actually had to fight off a giant seagull that kept trying to steal the piece of Boudin bread I was eating at an outside table..he was so very bold! I certainly would not have let him sit at my table, or on it, lol!<br /><br />Tomorrow is the big day! Very excited to see the opening ceremonies on TV!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-80364808511345832022010-02-11T12:33:14.438-08:002010-02-11T12:33:14.438-08:00My list is growing of places that I now want to vi...My list is growing of places that I now want to visit because I learned of them from you, here. This post on Granville Island looks just like a place that I would like to spend time visiting. Your pictures do a beautiful job of advertising it's appeal. I visited the Ten Thousand Villages store right near my home a few weeks ago, and found it interesting that you visited it in Granville Island. It is a fascinating store. Thank you for sharing this post. I like your blog better than the travel channel.<br /><br />Oh, and I must tell you, the precious pictures of your grandchildren on your side bar, bless my heart every time I visit this blog(which by the way is quite often).Just a little something from Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436711032386582707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-27388771885810925862010-02-11T11:31:29.736-08:002010-02-11T11:31:29.736-08:00Between the Olympic coverage on tv and your blog p...Between the Olympic coverage on tv and your blog posts, I am craving a trip to Vancouver.

I didn't know you could take a little boat across .... but we had a nice long walk across Granville Street into downtown. Shaun enjoyed authentic sushi at the market. I was just imagining how busy this place will get in the next weeks, with all the different foods.Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-60806911595450067252010-02-11T09:31:50.881-08:002010-02-11T09:31:50.881-08:00Looks like you had a fun visit to Granville Island...Looks like you had a fun visit to Granville Island.

The low crowned top hats seem to be the latest style in the shop, and I am gaga over that style. If I make it back up there I will definitely spending both time and money in the shop.<br /><br />I noticed several women in hats in other pictures. See? Canadian women DO wear hats, and wear them quite well.<br /><br />Love Granville Island.

There will be so much to see! Now that the planned commuter buses from our mall have been cancelled (a private venture that backed out), I'm wondering - will there be parking room at this end of Skytrain?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-45917201505198580692010-02-11T06:41:57.362-08:002010-02-11T06:41:57.362-08:00Judy a visit to Granville Island is always fun.

The last few sunny days would have been perfect for a lunch out there. I always love to look at the fruits and veggies and flowers the most .. and I always wonder why they have such gorgeous flowers there which don't come out our way.Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.com
