Today, I had the rare pleasure of being in downtown Vancouver. For those of you who know me well, you know that my adventures off the North Shore are limited - not because I hate going downtown, but because I love the North Shore so much.
But I was quickly reminded what a beautiful city our whole city is. I mean, visually, you would be hard to win an argument that there is a prettier city out there. But as I sat on the corner of a building located right by the waters edge, I enjoyed the city life for all the west coast as to offer.
Parking underground, I laughed as I emerged to a huge Tim Hortons line up. Only a good ol Canuck is willing to wait for their timmies. As I sat outside (with a quicker version of coffee today), I watched the best of our city walk by. Lulu lemons jogging past....north face jackets, coffee in everyone's hand, power suits walking beside mom's with strollers, hard to tell who is a local and who is a visitor.
As I sat in my meeting, I enjoyed the huge office window and watched the float planes come in and out . With the wind making the water glisten with the white caps and the blue skies emerge over the mountains, well if you have to be stuck in a meeting - that is where you want to do it.
The only thing that wasn't right about the morning.....my camera was at home.

You could just lie and tell us you took that photo. Beautiful city. Can't wait to visit it...and you!
Vancouver is on my places to visit. Maybe someday...
I hope to visit Vancouver someday. It always seemed out of reach when I lived on the East Coast but now that I'm only one province over and within driving distance of BC I might get the chance. Plus I have friends living in Sooke who have been begging me to visit for years!
Oh I wanna go! My plans fell through this year, but maybe next summer :)
