Granville is in the heart of Vancouver and while we knew we didn't want to be there as traffic increased, we decided to brave it early in the morning.
Granville Island is an arts and crafts community. That's evident everywhere. I loved this guy who has a duck for a spirit animal. His tag says "John had hoped his spirit animal might have been more impressive."
Our view as we ate was the Vancouver skyline - beautiful! 
Granville is home to a large indoor public market that includes produce, desserts, flowers, hardware, and just about everything else. There is a wide variety of restaurants which offer foods from every region in the world.
Hockey. It's Canada. Even at 10 in the morning the Canadians are all about hockey. 
There's a wide variety of things to do on Granville Island. Unfortunately, we had only a limited amount of time to spend there. 
Dan and Randy would like to have sampled some of the Granville Island Brewery's finest but it was early and the Sampling Room wasn't open. 
The Swiss Pavillion was located on Granville Island and we wanted to see what was there. Unfortunately, it was simply a high-priced restaurant. But his chocolate Lindt truffle replica just outside the front door was cute. 
There were also cutouts of obviously Swiss athletes surrounding the building. 
Then, the rain started and it was time for us to leave. 
We did try to get into the Holland House Pavillion later that morning but the line was...long. So, we stopped for some lunch, then headed home to our Vancouver.
