I dont think i told you about Stanley Park yet. Well I wasnt lucky with my camera the last times, but now i got a good photo series from the park and the aquarium. Stanley Park has to be my favorite place here in vancouver, i love it! This is a huge forest stuck to downtown and nearly as big. I think it is one of the biggest urban parks in North America. I went cycling around and inside the park with Jen and my mum as well. The view is fantastic!

In this park we already met raccoons, geese, black squirl, grey squirl, brown squirl, turtles and more ! :) The squirls are very friendly and come up to you asking for food! I know its bad to give them stuff, but they asked it so nicely! look at this one asking for a cracker :)

With Jen's parents, we gave some carrots to a family raccoons as well (carrots are good, arent they ?). We found a secret place in the forest full of squirls as well, we sat on a log and then 3 came to see what was going on! very funny to watch! Squirls are like pigeons here. In France, i think i have seen maybe 1 every 2 years :) here they are everywhere!

Stanley Park is also home to the Vancouver Aquarium. It looks like every other aquarium, but the interesting part is with the canadian animals. Like the beluga wales that lives in the artic, or the sea otters that lives on the British Columbian coast.
