Don't you just love it when the sun comes out after a long period of rain? Yesterday was sunny at last and I couldn't be happier. It definitely made the attractions in the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park more enjoyable!
Everyone seemed to be getting a kick out of crossing the Capilano Suspension Bridge, which is 137m long, 70m high and... extremely wobbly. I actually preferred the guided tour of the forest, which provided me with some useful insights on the temperate West Coast rainforest ecosystem. By the way, if ever you get slug slime on your hands, do not use water to get rid of it; wait for it to dry then rub it off. Really!
It was also cool to cross seven footbridges suspended between old-growth Douglas Fir trees; but what I enjoyed the most came after this small adventure in North Vancouver...
Shortly before going back home, I went for a walk in Stanley Park. As I took in the surrounding trees and flowers, I couldn't help but think that nature also seemed delighted to see the sun again - everywhere I looked, the colours were bright and inviting, everyone was cheerful and energetic... it was truly an inspiring moment.
The day ended with karaoke and honey lagers at the Filipino house. Interestingly enough, I scored the highest when I sang "Edelweiss"...
