so i made it to my first walking club meeting today. it was awesome. there were about 30 people there. we met at a quaint little cafe on east broadway and walked around vancouver in an area officially called Main looking at cherry trees. they were gorgeous. but what was even more awesome for me was the people i met. so many different ages, backrounds and stories. some had lived in vancouver their whole lives, others only two years so far. people from figi, hong kong, the phillipines, singapore, germany, japan, iran, the united states, just to name a few. i met a man who decided to marry a lady after knowing her for two days... they've been married for 15 years now! the diversity is amazing and exhilarating. I can't wait to get to know some of them even better. so cool.

it's so cool that our culture has created these 'pockets' where people can connect. oh that we would be a group that does this. so cool that there are places where we can 'walk' with people through life. it's awesome to see you pressing into our community erin.
so cool er.and so many different types of people and beautiful trees. so when people ask you about how and why you are in Vancouver what all do you tell them?
