In the mean time, we've been out and about Vancouver checking out the sights and feeling of the city and I thought I'd share with you guys where we live and whats going on here!
Cambie Bridge heading into downtown
It sure is!
Mr. Milk and I in front of the new Olympic Line. We just got off the Bombardier streetcar. Unfortunately it will be removed after the Olympics.
Pictures of the waterfront near Granville Island
Burrard Bridge from the water taxi
More waterfront shots.
The Erickson building, built to look like the human spine.
More waterfront shots
Clearly the Olympics are in Canada
I can only imagine how much this ad cost!
I think it speaks for itself :)
Cherry blossoms already in bloom! Crazy!
The Shangri La Hotel - tallest building in Vancouver
Finally had a JapaDog. These have been all the craze around here for a while. We had the pork hotdog with terimayo, onions, and seaweed. It was ok. Not sure what the hype is about to be honest.
There is a light show every night along English Bay. Every 12 seconds the design changes. And the best part? YOU can make the design! Mr. Milk made a couple the other day. If you are interested in making one of your own go check out the Vectorial Elevation site
And last but by no means least, the Olympic cauldron! Its really as beautiful as it looks! The line up to see it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Your city is absolutely gorgeous! I'm so jealous. Can't wait to see your first-hand pics of some of the games!
Wow it is beautiful down there! I think if I go back to Edmonton this summer I will drive half a day to go to Vancouver.
Its so pretty there! Coming from Toronto I am very jealous.
Great photos! I'm ticked I didn't have the time to make the trip to Vancouver from here in New Brunswick. So jealous!
Lived in Toronto for 5 years and always planned to go to Vancouver, now i'm really bummed that I never went.
That Erikson building is crazy looking - in a cool way, of course!
Great pictures! I wish I was there for the Olympics!

The cauldron is so super amazing! THe pic of you two is so cute! Mr Milk looks hot! And that ad on the building is ridiculously insane!
You lucky thing! The waterfront looks gorgeous and ooh that light show!
Vancouver looks just lovely! Hubby MD and I were saying the other day that it has moved to into the top 5 of next vacation destinations. Debate now... visit in winter or summer?!?
I love Vancouver. It's one of my favorite cities on earth. I worked up there a number of times on some movies before I gave it all up and became a full time mom. I miss it up there though. Take more pictures...I love seeing them, and Iove that the Olympics came there so everyone can see what an amazing city it is!!!
