Keeping Secrets: From the East coast to the West coast jiha :D

Back in Canada !! Jeaa! It kind of felt like coming home ...after united totally lost my sympathy ! :D first they're loosing Valeries backpack and than they canceling our backflight to Chicago ...you kind of can imagine how we felt when we found out our flight was cancelled!i was so pissed off!! In the end we flew via San fracnsisco to Vancouver. A little detour and a longer flight but we got there and our backpacks too!!! Haha the people at the airport just starred at us when we saw our luggage came out on the flowing ribbon :D

But first some more Highlights from New York :

MoMa Museum was really nice and free fridays!!! But also really crowed^^ We visited the Metropolitan Museum aswell but it was waaaaay too big ( you get lost even with a map) and honestly not that interessting

Of course Statue of libety :)

Grand Central Station.

Now we`re in Vancouver, British Columbia. At first I was afraid to come to BC cause everybody told us BC is soooooooooooo beautiful and I`m going to love it there....and I had really high expectations but when we came here ( we`re staying in North Vancouver, again at friends of Valeries parents) my expecations were exceeded!!!! The Family lives in Deep Cove, a small part of Vancouver, nestled on a Fjord and at the beginning of the forest. The first two days we went hiking and omg....Nature is so beautiful! I felt like Bella in Twilight haha :D Big trees covered with moss and ferns! The rainforest is so magical...it was partly forzen on that day, misty and the sun came out! The atmosphere was incredible!!!!! Exactly how I`ve imagined BC <3

Who can spot Jet, the dog in here? :)

As you can imagine I can go on and on with the picutures. In fact I almost pictured every second tree :D but the forest isn`t everything we`ve explored here:
The last two days we drove into Vancouver and I don´t know what I should think. Vancouver is a City I always wanted to visit, heard a lot positive stuff about and again I had high expectations. The first day we mostly spent in the Vancouver Aquarium, which is praised a lot, and its actually pretty cool but I imagined it a litte bit bigger. But they had a lot of cool fishes, penguins, jellyfishes and Beluga whales. Vancouver is a Young modern City and you can really see that. The architecture is futuristic and the atmosphere a lot more relaxed than in New York. I was automatically more relaxed. After the first day I really liked it but today we got kinda into the area where you shouldn`t go^^ We walked through Gastown, which should be actually really interessting for Tourist but in fact there is only a clock driven by steam and a lot of Souvenirshops, and then we actually wanted to walk through Chinatown but as we walked the People got creepier and creepier! WE were kinda shocked and decided not to go there :D Instead we walked to Granville Island, which was nicer. A market and lot Little craft and Souvenir Shops. Definetely the nicer part of Vancouver! Yeah, but after today I have a different Image of Vancouver. I know that every City has its "dirty" parts but I didn`t expeceted to see this part in an area which is actually recommended to Tourists from the Touristsinformation!
