tuesday inspiration

today i'm inspired by my city.

~the twinkling lights in robson square~

~the backdrop of mountains over ocean~

~the long boulevards and seascape views~

~the trees... everywhere~

~the friendly people who say good morning!~

~the kitschy neighborhoods~

~the endless stream of cafes with delicious baked goods~

~the plethora of runners, walkers, lululemon wearers~

~my beautiful university campus, virtually empty for a change~

~the smell of seasalt in the air~

~the 12C weather in february~

vancouver is the perfect mix

of bustling metropolis, laid back college town,

quirky neighborhoods, and ocean-side relaxation.
what other city has that?

and now, while the world is watching us

(even if i don't necessarily agree

that the olympics have been -or will be- the best thing

for our fair city)

i am very proud of vancouver and its beauty.

even if i have to move away one day,

i know i'll always come back to the west coast of british columbia.

"vancouver is the most wonderful place.

I put it up there with san francisco and sydney

as a kind of magic sort of harbor city"
