A Day In Vancouver

To see a city, you must walk,
Each neighborhood inviting
And areas, like waterfronts,
Give reasons for delighting.

To stroll the streets, check out the stores 
And people watch, together
With sampling the local wares 
Works well in any weather.

But when the sun is shining and
It's not too hot or cold,
It's great to be a tourist 
With reality on hold.

We wore our soles out and for sure,
Tomorrow we will suffer 
But motivation in a place
Like this just makes us tougher.

Oh, the trials and tribulations you and your husband must go through to be such jet setters. :) Sorry, I couldn't help that one. <3 And you know I'm just having fun. <3
