trying to stay warm..

Brrrr... I'm up in Vancouver for the week, where though its absolutely gorgeous, it is absolutely freezing! Luckily no rain and all sun, but it creates for a bitter, biting cold. I really can't complain though, the sights are so breathtaking. Vancouver feels like a cosmopolitan, European city, but then you drive 20 minutes out of the city and you find yourself driving along the ocean surrounded by 50 foot tall pine trees. Pictures to come of my grandparents beautiful home. I'm sitting here currently, looking out over the ocean, to all of the small islands and snow capped mountains, and am so thankful for traveling. There is nothing like it to expand one's horizons. Also thrilled that Charlotte Gainsbourg's new album came out in Canada, so I bought a CD while I was out, as it isn't due out until the end of January in the US. What a novel experience it was to go into a CD store! I can't even remember the last time I bought a CD. Anyways, for your listening pleasure, here is her single, Heaven Can Wait. I must get back to my book and my warm spot by the fire...
