Mission(s) accomplished! For today at least.
I am in Vancouver and it is *beautiful.* It's so green--there are so many trees--and it's just generally gorgeous. There are mountains! My taxi ride was through pretty neighborhood after pretty neighborhood and my new place is built on a ridge with an incredible view of downtown. I've seen lots of bikers and the city seems very bike friendly (yay!). The local Safeway is a ten minute walk and my school bus stop is a mere five. My landlords have been lovely and hospitable.
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Ah, that's right, it rains here. And as usual I've left behind lots of people and places I love. I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too, even if you're not a gluten-free eater.
Anyway, tomorrow's projects are as follows:
- public transportation
- finances
- unpacking
The fun never stops! Stay tuned for the next episode of "Christina experiments with being Canadian."
