On the outskirts of Vancouver, British Columbia, is Richmond, and it's a mile or so shorter than the bigger city, which was fine after driving since 4am. But it took four tries to find a room, apparently, because the new casino is open but doesn't yet have its hotel open, so the local hotels fill up fast on weekends. Dang.

This is the new casino, which does not yet have the hotel open -- hence the full up local hotels.	If you weren't already aware of the new signal at the corner, they put up a sign to let you know.	If you don't feed Snoopy, he'll break into the pet shop and get all Godzilla-like. Grrrrr...!
The homes we could see from our hotel -- the one that actually had a room available on a Saturday.	This house is so nice that the realtor put up not one, but two, signs. Go, Ray!	Okay, this pretty much cured me from spending another minute here... I just didn't feel safe.
