Spanish Banks

I had never been to the Spanish Banks before, and since we were in the area after the Botanical Garden at the University of British Columbia, we thought we’d stop.  It’s so neat to see the view of downtown Vancouver in the background.  The tide was pretty far out and we thought it would be fun to walk out to the water and play in it as it came in.   I’m not exactly sure that it was ‘fun’ but it was an experience.  Walking out we soon realized that we were walking in mud… squishy toe-oozing girl-squealing mud.  It was kind of disgusting but we were sure we were just going through a little patch and that we would be getting to the good sand, soon.  Not so.  We just got further and further into squishy slimy stuff and it was pretty funny to hear everyone let out their distain.  Even so, we made it out to the water.  We just weren’t too excited about the walk back.  Memorable, is what it is, and pretty funny.
