my beautiful city of vancouver

Ok, back to my Canada trip round-up.  Let me tell you, it's been really hard getting back into the swing of things here in Australia!

So after our trip to Lake Louise, we took five days to drive through the rocky mountains to Vancouver.  And then we spent a week in Vancouver.  Which I realized was a ridiculous thing to do.  One week?  Did I really try to fit in four years of living there into one week?  Oh yes I did, and it was hectic and crazy and we had to NOT do a whole bunch of stuff that I'd wanted us to.  But it was amazing being back in my city and seeing all my wonderful friends.  I felt especially proud when I got to walk across Vancouver's new, permanent rainbow crosswalk.  It's also the world's second permanent one.  Way to go Vancouver!

Anyway, here are some photos of Vancouver.  Later this week I'll post about the amazing apartment we stayed in, and how we got it.
