trading rain.

For the most part I try not to daydream when I am riding my bike through the city (instead trying to stay focused on the traffic and other hazards) but two days ago when I was riding home in the sunshine I couldn't help but think about how I was going to miss this city. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and I was cruising through the tree-lined streets. I am going to miss doing that.

Here are some other things I am going to miss:

• Riding my bike through another rainy November
• Running to the beach and checking on the eagle's nest
• Spaghetti sauce at my mom's
• My mom constantly trying to send us home with half of her orange juice, or cheese, or Spring Mix greens, or sea salt
• My family
  
• The Burrard St. bridge
• Delicious Asian food of all kinds (mostly noodles and sushi)
• The sunshine in February
• The rain the rest of the year
• The fresh air
• Running errands on 4th Ave.
• Bard on the Beach
• Salad wraps at Granville Island

...just a few. The list is longer, but I have to get back to packing. Tomorrow we load the truck, and Saturday morning we hit the long road to PG.
