 It was the first day in Vancouver and I would not be able to see Shaggy and Velma until tommorow. So I decided to see the Vancouver Convention Centre. I had to book my tour three days ahead just to get in. They made the place to be as green as possible and it was amazing. My favourite part was the grass on the roof. You don't see stuff like that back home. Staying in the green mood I decided to go downtown to get a veggie burger. While downtown I noticed the Vancouver Aquarium and since I love fish I decided to go in. The fish were beautiful colours and looked amazing swimming through the water. After that I was really tired and decided to hi the hay.

It was day two in vancouver and I was excited to see Shaggy and Velma, but sad it was my last day on the trip. I met up with my friends at a coffee shop and we just caught up. Before we knew it half of the day was gone. Instead of cramming in a bunch of thing's we decided to really just cherish one. We went to the Olympic village. It brought back memories, like Sidney Crosby's golden goal and our first gold medal. After this I was sad but the trip was over and I had to head back home.
