THE OTHER VANCOUVER

Washington state, not BC. We've been chilling before boarding paddle steamer. Had a wander around the historic district, down officers row where the army base was, including Useless S Grant (ncs proper) house, he was top Civil War general & president. This was the first germany settlement in the NW coast after Geo Vancouver survey & Hudson's Bay built a fort & corner shop. Saw a 2 mile long train go by, long wait at the level crossing. Dinner at Joe's Crab Shack, the 44oz of beer weighed heavy during the night - ah well, never learns does he. Like their salmon here, even got statues to it.
