**************************************************Whenever I see photos of Vancouver (or BC even) I get a little misty eyed. Especially with the lead up to the Games. I won't be there for them and that was what had brought me out there in the first place. I don't have any regret about leaving the Games, I really don't. It was the right thing to do for me at the time but still, I can feel a bit misty eyed, right? I hope that's okay.
I really don't have any desire to live in Vancouver for the rest of my life. I just simply don't. I think it was a fabulous experience for me to have lived there, and for two years at that. But I just don't feel like it's the place where I want to settle down (plus, I just can't get used to all the rain). But I do hope that I get to visit there a lot. And I hope that when I have kids, I can take them there all the time to visit this fantastic city. It definitely stole a piece of my heart that I will not get back. And I don't want it back. I'm okay with Vancouver having that piece.
I wish I had a photo (and I'm sure I do somewhere and I just can't find it right now) of the view of downtown from the Burrard or Granville Street bridge at night. EVERYTIME I drove over those bridges at night I just couldn't help but choke up a little and just feel in awe of the beauty that is a big city. A big city on the West Coast. Just stunning. I'm a little misty eyed sitting here thinking about it.
