Some Vancouver area pictures I've taken over the last week or so...

I'd love to feel part of a Quebec City, or a Montreal, or a Calgary, or a Vancouver... enough to really live there. But I'm just too attached to home. I'd feel like I abandonned my family for another one. Doesn't matter if its better in all the ways that matter to me... I'd just feel guilty.

I definitely understand that. I feel much that way about Saskatoon, having spent most of my life there it just feels like "home" to me in a way that nowhere else does. Although I have to say I do feel very much at home in Vancouver as well, just in a different way. But there are many other parts of Canada that are just awesome and I love visiting and would enjoy spending more time there, but I don't think I could ever settle down or consider them "home" like that.
