I live in Squamish and so I was was very thankful to hear that the Paralympic torch relay was going to come through town on Sunday, March 7th. The flame was lit by members of the Squamish Nation and then brought by canoe across the water to the downtown celebration. The Paralympic torch was ignited and then brought through the streets by individuals each having a personal story of overcoming obstacles and finding inspiration. An incredibly memorable day for Squamish!

I took a trip down to Stanley Park on a Saturday raining morning and stopped in for a visit at the Vancouver Aquarium.  The exhibits were amazing! Especially the jellyfish and the Beluga Whales! And the sea otters! Actually it was all pretty incredible, the tanks are huge and you feel like you're almost inside with the sea life. I then tour around Stanley Park a bit to see the Totems, some of the statues and the famous Hollow Tree.
