it’s been an amazing week (as usual) here in vancouver. very near the top of my list of fave things about this city – and it’s a pretty looong list – is spanish banks (above photo). maddy’s review is as follows: “there’s an ocean for swimming, seagulls for chasing, and a large part of it is all off-leash, all the time. what more could you ask for, really?”

i can be a pretty solitary and independent person… and isolating myself in a much smaller, and much more remote city like prince george must do more overall harm than good. but another thing i like about being back in town is all the face-time i get with long-lost friends. after a couple of days catching up with the boyfriend, here’s what the rest of my current whirlwind vancouver tour looks like:

sunday: snowshoeing with derek, julie, sue, & stan
wednesday: coffee with colin
thursday: breakfast with mel, movie with chad
friday: drinks with alex*
saturday: breakfast with lee, drinks with amber
sunday: dog walks with christina (and jo!), breakfast with julie, snowshoeing with jonathan‘s co-workers

unfortunately, there are a few people missing from that list… but i’m only here for a week. flying back to prince george monday morning and spending the following five days/nights studying for the organic chem midterm next friday.

i think maddy’s ready to go home. but i am never really ready to leave vancouver behind. :)

* the fact that that photo is from 2002 is a testament to how “long-lost” he really is.
