I realize that using images taken from random sources on Google is what's known as 'sailing a little too close to the wind" of the intellectual property laws. But if my showing your photo on the Subversive Archaeologist could in any way spread the word of your unquestionable talent, I'm happy to do so. Please let me know what I should do.thesubversivearchaeologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02730417511321512990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040099150725637733.post-53503223348466395312013-12-11T16:57:22.012+00:002013-12-11T16:57:22.012+00:00Did you take that wonderful photo?

The Vancouver weather is, indeed, quite a familiar thing to maritime NW Europeans (Dutch, British).<br />Rob: what struck me when I visited Vancouver was that I never felt unsafe, unlike some other cities I've been to. I felt safer in Vancouver than I do in Amsterdam (a city I don't like very much). And I loved the general lay-out of the city. From where I stayed (Bute Street) it was also a short stroll only to Stanley Park and the beach was basically down the street.<br />I also liked the highly multi-cultural character of the city.<br />The ethnographic museum with all the First Nations wood carvings is a bit further away but is marvelous. So yes, I highly enjoyed my visit!<br />Negative things I encountered there? Well, maybe the large amount of beggars and dumpster divers. But that is about it.Marco Langbroekhttp://www.palaeolithic.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040099150725637733.post-53547308512992687112013-03-03T22:58:00.370+00:002013-03-03T22:58:00.370+00:00@ Mike.
