vancouver, BC

I like Vancouver, there are huge trees everywhere, efficient buses, and the population density in the city proper is extremely high so you can really walk around. It juts out on a wee peninsula out into the bay there.

I wouldn't come here without some sort of agenda, and if you plan to rent a bike and ride all over the place (as I did) be sure to check the weather websites obsessively. Instead I walked around in the rain.

In all, I like Vancouver, but I would like to come back some day with an agenda.

Now I am going to spend the rest of my night planning my Montreal visit. I'm excited about my hotel for Friday and Saturday night, a cheap and centrally located spot called Hotel Du Noveau Forum. Riggidy rock-it y'all. I hope nobody gives me lip for not being able to do the parlez. Maybe I will pretend to be straight from Puerto Rico and give them lip for not hablando.

I don't buy records in foreign cities anymore, just shoes (maybe), postcards, and most of all food. I hope I can rent a bike for friday and Saturday to keep my metabolism up. I want some French, and hopefully a little moderately priced highfalutin food. I also hope to catch some lounging action. We'll see how it all plays out.

I'll post a flickr photo or two now.
