My first taste of Vancouver
Aug 01, 2008
This week I travelled to the Pacific coast of Canada for my first visit to Vancouver! As I expected, it was a little rainy but the sun came out when I was strolling around Stanley Park.
After visiting everyone at the head office of Mountain Equipment Co-op, I stopped by the MEC Vancouver store where I was put to work, helping customers buy gear for their wilderness trips. I also signed autographs and posed for photos with some of my fans!
Once my work day was over, I had some time to visit the Granville Island market and sample some of the amazing foods for sale. I couldn’t find any lichen to nibble on but I did enjoy a pastry from the bakery.
By this time I needed to find some forest for a rest so I went to Stanley Park and saw the huge cedar trees and amazing totem poles. I walked along the seawall and chatted with tourists and locals about protecting my home, the Boreal forest.
Thank you to everyone at MEC in Vancouver for making me feel at home!
