WHEN IT’S SUNNY!
Vancouver is known for many things – natural beauty, excellent cuisine, laidback atmosphere, and mild temperatures (compared to the rest of Canada, that is). One thing Vancouver is not known for is its bright skies. With only 155 days registering “measurable sunshine” per year, the 2.6 million city and suburbs are about the darkest place in North America. Yes, Whithourse is even darker, but good luck finding it on the map. So, it was with some relief that we found ourselves swimming in sunshine, not rain, while visiting town – two years in a row!
Was it luck, or perhaps an under-the-table fat bribe to the goddess of fortune? Well, stick around and find out.
