13 days of moving

#13. Mountains
They peek over the buildings on the Hastings strip when you take the 135, like one of those looped stock backgrounds in a cartoon. You can tell the cold has set in when you see them dusted and fuzzy with snow, and their lights twinkle dimly at you during the night like stars who missed a turn. They're like a comforting arm thrown around the shoulder of Vancouver, always got your back.
They make the Skytrain way, way more fun than driving. Always.
I didn't get to enjoy the mountains myself until last month, when I went snowshoeing for the first time. I'm going to Grouse next week too. There may be more snow in Toronto, but their hills can't possibly be as fun.
