vancouver

My much needed trip to Vancouver, Canada was quite a cold one, but also lots of fun. It's always good to get away from work and school and everything for a little while.The first full day there, my friend and I visited the Capilano Suspension Bridge and ran atop treetop bridges while drinking some hot cocoa. The scenery was absolutely amazing and somehow we managed to stay warm despite the rain.Our second day there, we took a stroll around Stanley Park. However, just a little while into it, we felt our toes and our noses freezing off of our body, so we decided to head back to the hotel a little sooner than we planned. Later, we met with a friend for lunch and shopped around the city.

Sunday, we foolishly walked over the Granville Bridge in the freezing rain to go to the Granville Island Public Market. My friend managed to land herself under the aims of a bird while we were there, so it became quite the adventure. In the afternoon, we visited our favorite cafe, Cafe Artigiano, where they make the most beautiful lattes.

All in all, it was a really enjoyable trip. We spent most of our time walking through the icey city singing random bits of Kate Nash and Amy Kuney as we couldn't seem to get them out of our heads. Somehow, I always find some music to characterize my vacations. That just makes them that more memorable. I hope everyone is having a great start to their new year!
