Vancouver as a city is a beautiful city, but when it rains it becomes depressing, cold and grey. Since I am in Vancouver for the winter months this is the Vancouver I get the majority of the time. And if you think it is hard to get up in the morning try it when it is grey, rainy muddy, and cold. I know that some people like the cold and that some people live in colder places that Vancouver and that temperatures between –1 and 1 degrees Celsius are warm in comparisons but to me it is cold and I don’t think I will ever get used to it. Having said that, it is days like today that makes me realize how much I love Vancouver. To day was Today it was supposed to rain and snow. Instead I got glorious sun and warmth.
When I left my house today I wondered whether to take my rain jacket or not since the weather forecast seemed sop gloomy. Since I was already on my way I figured I would deal with the rain when it came. As I was walking from the bus station to the apartment, where I was to meet my cousin Paula, I was thinking to my self how nice a day it was. I didn’t know half of it. The sun came out the clouds went away and one of the most beautiful days I have ever seen appeared in front of my eyes. I got to go walk through Granville Island and down town. I arrived at campus at 4 and the sunset was at 5. I saw it from the cliffs. A perfect end to a perfect day. Now if it could only remain like this forever.
