Taxi Boat




Today we took the taxi boat to Granville Island, a little pier area under the Granville bridge that has been turned into sort of an upscale craft market, with artists' ateliers and boutiques, shops and the best "food court" I've seen (tasted). What we like best though, is parking the car near the Science Center and walking down to the little dock below to pick up a a little taxi boat to Granville. We putt-putt along the bay, towards the waterway that separates Vancouver from Vancouver Island. We spot cormorants, and look for seals. We watch the skyscrapers sail by, and watch the cranes building taller ones. At Granville Island we listen to different buskers singing and playing, vying for our Loonies. We nibble fresh pizza and breathe in the salty, tidal air.
