Wander Words

I’ve been in Vancouver for a few days now, and so far I’m very impressed with the parks and public spaces here.

There are two that I especially like:

Stanley park
It’s the 16th best park in the world — though, based on the parks on the list I’ve been to, I think it should be higher. Stanley Park has birds, trees, beaches, sculptures, trails… and it’s all walking distance from downtown.

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
A mouthful of a name, but a gem of a park. It’s much smaller than Stanley Park, but very peaceful — the perfect place to meditate or read a book. It also has gorgeous architecture. (And the ladies who work at the gift shop are very sweet, too.)
