Vancouver is Cold

Well I was hoping that by now I'd have some preliminary yet profound things to say about Vancouver, but nothing much seen as yet. I totally slept in all morning- sorry Hannah, still on nocturnal holiday time- and in the afternoon we went downtown and spent some time in the city art gallery. It was ridiculously windy by this time, and the stop lights over the roads were bouncing around worryingly on their cables like little yo-yos. I saw at least two people's umbrellas being utterly destroyed in the gale, oops. I like the look of downtown so far, it has your average skyscrapers and all but isn't overwhelming with it, seems a bit more cosy and small-scale when you're spend time in it. A bit like Portland really. Sea and giant mountains keep looming up unexpectedly, but impressively. Dinner and When Harry Met Sally with Hannah's friends this evening, who seem really lovely, and like they've know each other for a long time. (Also they're all girls, which I guess proves Harry right, ha?) Snow and sleet and hail this afternoon and evening, and set to get colder later in the week. Crap.
