What many think dates back to the Victorian era, Vancouver's Gastown Steam Clock was actually built in 1977. A crowd gathers around the clock when it puts on a performance of both steam and whistling four times each hour on the quarter hour. The show at the top of each hour includes a whistle to mark each hour of the current time along with a puff of steam.

We started Day 18 off with a morning train ride between Bellingham, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia. Since we visited Vancouver just a few years ago, we chose to have a more relaxing day reminiscing about some of our memories from our last trip - like the Gastown Steam Clock!
