Sister in a house in Coquitlam (Coquitlam) up to about 30 minutes in, between downtown skyscrapers later, came a sign informing Stanley Park. Yellow traffic light stops at a red light came in, I found the crosswalk and dragged the bike all the people passing it not passing!

Stanley Park, as shown in Google Earth (Stanley Park) is a dense high-rise buildings in Vancouver's West End area located on the north side of a wide. Shown in the bottom right corner of the white dome indoor stadium is right, this Vancouver Winter Olympics opening ceremony, which took place BC Place Stadium, and thus expensive land prices in cities large nature park near downtown and the stadium built on the back of their mind years ago, is indeed great.

Information on the park entrance on the right side of the map to stop receiving, and how one should explore this vast park fell into distress. The park is landscaped with a large majority of natural forests, biking or walking it is a perfect resting place is too. Of course, the famous Vancouver Aquarium (Vancouver Aquarium) and a variety of sports facilities, including a small zoo that has been created, but just as far as we are having our style wraparound lap along the coast by car, but decided to go.

Even the description of the totem pole 'First Nations Art' wrote the phrase, Indians are recognized as the owner of the land makes the first means, I'm afraid (For convenience, in this case 'Indian' as representation, but will call down if the United States Indian, Native American called it)

A total of eight totem pole that is erected, all the descendants of the Indians who lived near Vancouver in accordance with the traditional form would be made. Raven (raven), bear (bear), legendary bird (Mythical Bird), a smart guy (Wise One), Wolf (Wolf), killer whale (Killer Whale), and Thunderbird (Thunderbird) in turn look to build more towers was a very interesting look.

Drove back along the coast, Park Point at the north end of Prospect Point is the way. Why is the sea 'lion at the entrance of' do not know they call it, I like the green of the Golden Gate Bridge Lions Gate Bridge called the name of the son.
