Anthropology Museum, Vancouver Touring and a NY Restaurant in British Columbia

We agreed that we would go to the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia (UBC)-so we boarded an Express Bus that got us there in less than a ½ hour and provided us some wonderful views of some grand homes along the way. As an added bonus, this was graduation day at UBC, so we saw some of the happy graduates. The Anthropology Museum is spectacular-built much like a First People's Long House, it focuses mainly on the art of the Coastal First Indian Tribes and was both enjoyable, educational and enlightening. Out guide/docent, Clayton was very knowledgeable and the tour ended with the spectacular Bill Reid sculpture called the Raven.

We returned to Vancouver again by bus, but this time took it to the end of the line and experienced a ride on the “Sea Bus” back and forth to North Vancouver Island and the boarded the “Sky Train”, the commuter transit system that is also a good way to see part of Vancouver. For our final evening, we went into a “tougher” section of town between Gas Town and China Town and had dinner in a restaurant called “Boneta” that was recommended by the owners of Cafe Brio in Victoria. It was very “New York” like in its feel and food and was a good way to end our trip.
