Vancouver Review: Eating My Way Through Vancouver

September 27, 2013 by Rika 22 Comments

In keeping with the last two posts about eating, I figured I'd better round out the trilogy with my last food post: eating my way through Vancouver.It was no secret that during my visit to Canada I was more than prepared, after a year of lackluster Honduran food, to eat all the things. My lifelong love affair with food was kicked into overdrive during my 3.5 weeks in Canada, especially in Vancouver. This city was made for eating!So sit down and grab a snack - this one is ...

Vancouver Review: Hiking Lynn Canyon

Well, I'm in Vancouver. This has been the weirdest day. As soon as I flew out of Roatan this afternoon and arrived in Houston, I got completely overwhelmed and almost had a panic attack in the airport. There were SO MANY PEOPLE. And SO MANY STORES. And everything was SO CLEAN. And everything was moving SO FAST. And why is everything SO LOUD?? I can't believe how used to island life I had gotten. Culture shock!!Waiting in line for immigration was incredible for me... everyone around me was ...

Things to Do in Vancouver

So I promised my good friends Emma & Ed over at Stuff & Things who I met on Roatan that I'd send a list of cool (but cheap or free) things to do in Vancouver, BC (my adopted hometown) for their trip.
