Victoria

Seaplane tour
Yesterday, I went on my first seaplane ride, a 45-min tour departing from and arriving at the Vancouver Harbour. Here are some pictures I took on the flight.

Vancouver update
I haven’t posted in a very long time but I am still alive and in Vancouver. Here are some pictures I took in the last few months. Above, the Burrard inlet from the Vancouver Lookout at Harbour Centre.
