Day 6

one last morning in Bellingham. Scott took us over to rocket doughnuts in fairhaven, WA. Great way to start the day. We drove up to and over look or the sound near his work to take it in before heading on our way.

The border crossing was probably the fastest I've ever had it. Easily less than 5 minutes. We couldn't

check into the hostel until 3 so we headed towards the calipano swinging bridge until we figured out it was 40$ to get in. Didn't want to see it that back, so we took a route change and found a nice trail to run on in burnaby - a Vancouver suburb. Really nice trails, all dirt through the woods. Huge grass fields to barefoot run on. And maybe the best barefoot Surface I've ever been on. Super soft grass over firm dirt.

Found a Vietnamese place in Chinatown for some post run pho. A 20 minute wait was definitely  worth it, fairly cheap as it was, but the dollar is buying well right now so it was less than 30$ for 2 entrees, a drink, and tip.

We also saw at least two guys literally in he act of shooting up heroin when we were walking around Chinatown. Talk about a weird, accepting culture. People don't even seem to notice.

The hostel is great. It's in the middle of a large park near the university of bc. The room is tiny, but well kept. Busing to the city center was quick and easy. It's amazing how smart phones have changed the game on that.

We ended up at allegedly the same Japanese fusion place (keeper bar) that Andy and I went 4 years ago for some happy hour cocktails. After that was dinner at the fish shack for some seafood. Kate went with tuna fish tacos( okay). I had the Dungeness crab. My first I believe. All in all, a great first day in Vancouver
