West Coast Trip 2011 - Day 8

Vancouver Pride Parade 2011

It seems like every group participated in the parade today. From banks and grocery stores to public officials and city groups, everybody wanted to be a part of the 2.5 hour long parade. There were some interesting floats, lots of underwear, and a few strategically placed band-aids. Michelle enjoyed herself and didn't ask too many questions. The rest of the day was very low key as we all caught up on some rest. Tomorrow is our last day in Vancouver before we head out on the cruise. Michelle is getting pretty excited and spent a good part of the evening looking at the Disney cruise web site. She'll have the whole layout memorized before we ever set foot on the ship.

The Bird Cage
The Vancouver Playhouse used the parade to advertise their upcoming production of Le Cage aux Foiles.

Prime Viewing
We all had a great view out in front of our hotel but I think Michelle got the best seat available.

Spread you wings
and walk very carefully. This was the most elaborate costume of the parade.
