Sightseeting

Thursday we went to the Vancouver Public Library and the Police Museum with Matt and Christina. Here we are in our police hats!

The Library is 7 stories of books! We only spent an hour there but I could have spent many more (particularly because I'm ineligible for a library card at the moment). The architecture looks a bit like a coliseum!

We then went to the police museum, which had history back to the 1800's with weapons, confiscated items, evidence from old murders - you even got to go into the rooms which used to be the cold room and autopsy room. There were some preserved body bits on the wall (not for the squeamish). They also have a program where you try and recreate a face of a 'wanted' person, which is quite tricky.

We stopped at Chapters Bookstore on the way home, as I'd been given a voucher for Christmas, so it was a lovely day, despite the rainy weather.
