The tourists

English: We've been working a lot lately, so when I found out that both of us were having a day off, we just decided to be tourists and go to North Vancouver, plus it was a gorgeous sunny day. We took the Canada Line, all the way to Waterfront Station and there we took the Sea Bus to North Van. The ride is about 15 minutes and if you sit at the very end, you can see Vancouver getting smaller, or North Van getting bigger.
FYI: The fare for the Sea Bus, from Waterfront Station is CAD 4, or if you have a Monthly Pass or FareSaver Tickets, you only have to pay CAD 1.25. You can find more information here.

Español: Ultimamente hemos estado trabajando sin parar, así que cuando nos dimos cuenta que íbamos a tener un dia libre, decidimos ser turistas e ir a North Vancouver, ademas el día estaba espectacular. Agarramos el Canada Line hasta Waterfront Station, donde tomamos el Sea Bus hacia North Van. El viaje dura como 15 minutos y si te sientas al final, puedes ver Vancouver haciéndose cada vez más pequeno, North Van haciéndose más grande.
FYI: La tarifa para el Sea Bus, desde Waterfront es CAD 4, pero si tiene un Monthly Pass o FareSaver Tickets, solo tienes que pagar CAD 1.25. Pueden encontrar mas información aquí.



English: We got to North Van and went straight to Lonsdale Quay Market. It's a really small market, compared to Granville Island Public Market, there's nothing much to see, besides the little stores that sell everything overpriced. It's a tourist trap and I wanted to fall in it hahaha. 

Español: Llegamos a North Van y fuimos directo al Lonsdale Quay Markey. Es un mercado muy pequeño, comparado con el  Granville Island Public Market y no hay mucho que ver. Es una "tourist trap" y yo quería caer redondita jajaja.


English: We were hungry and I wanted to eat Mexican food, so we decided to research a little bit. In Vancouver, Yelp! has become our best friend. We hardly go anywhere, without checking Yelp!'s reviews first. Trust me, it can save your life. We found a Mexican restaurant that had awesome reviews and it was only a 5 minute walk from Lonsdale Quay Market, it's called Cinco de Mayo Mexican Grill. Of course, we ate burritos. I had the Grande and Ricardo had the Macho, which is the biggest one.

Español: Estábamos hambrientos y yo quería comida mexicana, así que decidimos investigar un poquito. Desde que estamos en Vancouver, Yelp! se ha convertido en nuestro mejor amigo. No vamos a ningún lado, sin antes revisar las reseñas en Yelp! Créanme, les puede salvar la vida. Encontramos un restaurant mexicano, que tenía reseñas muy buenas y estaba solo a 5 minutos caminando desde Lonsdale Quay Markey, se llama  Cinco de Mayo Mexican Grill. Por supuesto, comimos burritos. Yo me comí el Burrito Grande y Ricardo se comió el Burrito Macho, que es el más grande de todos.


English: The burritos were AH-MAZING. Do you remember when I told you that I had not found a place in Vancouver, where the food was really mind blowing? Well, I have to take that back because I did, and is this place. The burritos are really good and the portion size is also good.

Español: Los burritos estaba INCREIBLES ¿Se acuerdan que en el post anterior les dije que no había encontrado un lugar bueno de comida en Vancouver? Bueno, retiro lo dicho porque ya lo encontramos y es este lugar. Los burritos son muy buenos y el tamaño de la comida también es bueno.



English: After that, we just wandered around a park that is near to the Market, I have no idea what the name is, but is nice. And that was it for the day.

See you on our next adventure!
XO,

Español: Después de eso, solo caminamos y estuvimos un rato en un parque que está cerca del mercado, que no tengo idea de como se llama, pero es lindo. Y eso fue todo por el día.

Nos vemos en la proxima aventura!
Besos,
M.
