Doug and I had a great day on Granville Island - home to eateries, food and flower stalls at the Public Market, live theater and art galleries. It was a highlight of our 5-day stay in Vancouver along with the Vancouver Art Gallery and Stanley Park.

The deck outside the Public Market gives visitors a spectacular view of downtown Vancouver.

Decorated cement trucks, like this one we saw on our visit to Granville Island, are a reminder that Vancouver's "hip" area was once an industrial zone - rehabbed in the 1970s to now attract tourists with food and flower stalls, ethnic restaurants, art galleries and boutique shops.
