On my last day at the Vancouver aiport I had a few hours to kill before my flight home, and I went to the aquarium.  It was another miserable gray rainy day, but I still had a great time walking along the bayfront, through Stanley park and into the aquarium.

Beluga whales, mother and child – mom’s been in this tank for 34 years, poor thing.  Although they have a sizable tank to swim in, for some reason (probably food) they really wanted to get into a tiny little pool at one end.

This is a pretty good aquarium.  I had just been diving, and had seen a lot of the fish and invertebrates on display.  As usual, the aquarium denizens were plumper than most wild animals.
