Can you find everything?

1
An Inukshuk was traditionally used as a landmark by the Inuit and First Nations people.
2
There's been some kind of slide here for about 100 years.
That's a lot of sliding.
3
I was born and raised in Vancouver so I look suspiciously at palm trees.
4
I love the Amazing Laughter sculpture because everybody turns into a kid.
5
There's a great store called Kimprints here, almost a Vancouver institution!
That's my friend waving at us.
6
The vines, covering the whole west wall of the Sylvia Hotel were started by a tenant, Mrs. Kenvyn, after World War ll.
7
Canada geese.
They're kind of everywhere now.
8
Vancouver's Seawall, the world's longest uninterrupted waterfront path.
9
It's a game we used to play, counting tankers and bulk carriers.
I counted 17 one time.
10
Alexandra, the little park with the big view.
The bandstand has been around since 1914.
11
I thought it was normal to have logs arranged on a beach.
Then I traveled and learned it's a unique Vancouver feature.
Nice for leaning.
12
Way over here is the University of British Columbia,
with even more beaches (including a naked one.)
13
I'm pretty well convinced, as soon as a cyclists put on spandex they think they own the place.
This is now a bike route and you have to be on your toes.
