| Bigger bridges.
| Mountain goats.
| If you look closely at the full-sized image, you should be able to spot
both an eagle and a bear in this picture. I'll put a hint about where
they are in white-on-white text below (highlight it). The eagle is on a treetop above the left side of the pond.
The bear is on the leftmost of the two islands.
| The first in a series of movies that slides along the length of the
model train track, showing the layout and details.

|
| Part two in the series of movies.
| Part three in the series of movies.
This one moves pretty fast
at times as I run to keep up with a train.
| The museum also had many model ships.
| The Bismarck, a German battleship.

|
The dramatic history of the real Bismarck.
Sorry about the image's
fuzziness.
| Or was this the Bismarck? Probably not, but my notes don't make it
clear. Regardless, these two boats are detailed.
| A room of WWII battleships, including the two previously photographed.

| More Granville Island

|
|
|
| Greenery near the end of the under-the-bridge entrance to Granville Island.
| A video of the complex ball-rolling machine displayed along one street. I
love these things!
Sorry that the camera went funky part of the
way through the video.
| Many varieties of pot pies ranging from okra & burdock quiche pies to
molten crab pot pies to curry seafood pies. View the full-sized image
to read them all.
| Di Yin stops to smell the flowers.

|
| A cranberry orange loaf (basically a flavored pound cake) and an
cranberry orange bagel ("I just don't think this is going to make it til
dinner.")
| A panoramic movie of Agro Cafe, where we stopped and relaxed
a bit.

| Downtown Vancouver

|
|
| Ominous clouds over Vancouver. At left is Granville Bridge.
| Are these cement trucks? In any case, they're cute.
| Many variations on chocolate-dipped apples.
| A panorama looking west from Burrard Bridge. Vancouver proper is on the
right.

| Seto Sushi (Richmond)
|
|
|
|
|
| Seto Sushi, our dinner
destination, is located in an ordinary strip mall.
| Deep-fried soft-shell crab. It smelled good and tasted good.
| Fukahire chawanmushi (a type of egg custard). Funky.
| From left-to-right, top-to-bottom:
- hamachi (yellowtail) (two pieces): good as usual.
- maguro (geoduck) (two pieces): felt like it's just ridges on ridges and muscles on muscles. It reminded me strongly of the ocean, much as mussels do.
- katsuo (bonito fish, which is type of tuna): similar to other white fish.
- blue-fin akami (another type of tuna): A soft, lean cut of tuna. Did I mention it was soft? Very soft.
- pickled ginger, of course
Di Yin observed, approvingly, that the temperature of the fish matched
the temperature of the rice.

|
| #9 Restaurant, the place where we had round two of dinner.
| The guy who makes soup.
| Shrimp wonton soup. Pretty decent, but it didn't match that I
previously had in Boston.
