First let me inform you that Stanley Park was named after Lord Stanley, the same Lord Stanley as the Stanley cup. If you don't know about the Stanley cup you need to go away now.
Stanley Park houses the Vancouver Aquarium, which we visited, which was a good time. I learned a bunch of interesting things and saw some of nature's wonders such as a 3 week old beluga whale playing with a one year old. Of other significant note is that Vancouver, BC is home to quite the array of tropical creatures. It was surprising to learn the vegetation and sea life of British Columbia is similar to the Amazon or other rain forests.
After concluding our time at the aquarium we took the road bikes around Stanley park which is a 9-ish mile peninsula. This was a fun, relaxing time on the bikes just cruising along taking in the sea air and more sights.
And to add to our Seattle parking nightmare we got slapped with a $105 fine for having 1/4 of the truck's rear tire in another parking stall. Ridiculous. How can a $105 fine exist for a $10 all day parking spot?
