today kicks off my two week tour of the US. first stop: chicago. but before i get carried away talking about my travels, it's only fair if i recap you guys on the happenings of the last week.
monday was canada day, so i lucked in to a long weekend. it's kind of weird galavanting around on another country's birthday, especially when you don't know the proper way to celebrate! a few of us headed to granville island (an awesome public market on a teensy little island under the granville bridge) to scope out the happenings. we did more shopping than partying (surprise, surprise), and i scored some super fresh produce out of the deal too!

| are you ready to come visit yet? |
the short week went by super quick! some apartment browsing throughout the week, interspersed with hot yoga, power yoga in gastown, & spinning; and then a great going away mexican fiesta with my new friends! (yes, i realize this is kind of silly since i'm only leaving vancouver for two weeks.)
i'm mega excited to have signed a lease! i fell in love with a place last weekend (sorry i didn't tell you...didn't want to count my ducks before they hatched), and wanted to make sure i did a fair job of comparing other places before i signed. i'll move in to my new place on september 1, and will be in temporary corporate housing until then. as you can probably guess from all of my (not so) max discrete kits loving, my new place is smack dab in the middle of kitsilano; only a block from whole foods (yes, that was a determining factor) and starbucks (duh.). i'll be about 6 minutes from work via bike (guess i should get one of those, eh?) and four blocks from the beach :-).

i have to admit, i was a little sad to leave vancouver today! it already feels a bit like home...
