A lovely afternoon in downtown Vancouver

 

Yesterday, my Red Hat group had a lovely lunch downtown at The Lion Club.  We've been to a lot of downtown pubs, but this one had the best pub food.  It's part of the Terminal City Club.  I'm sorry I didn't take pictures of the food.  This English style pub served many British dishes.  Two ladies had fish and chips, others had beef dip and Guinness Steak pie!  I had the  Mediterranean Bowl.  It had warm hummus, red pepper, zhug, green pea falafel pickled shallot, crispy chickpeas, maple onion arugula salad and grilled pita!  It was the nicest bowl I've ever had.  It was so large, I couldn't eat it all!  


The Telephone Room
The location is on Cordova Street between Waterfront Station and the Convention Center.  

On our way back to Skytrain, we stopped at the Mounted Police Post


A great selection of badges!


This store is very close to the cruise ship terminal and gets a lot of out of town visitors.  Today is the day the Port of Vancouver gets it's first cruise ship.  The Disney Wonder comes to town.  It departs in the early evening for a four day cruise to San Diego.
