I saw this photo of Gisele and company the other day on Jezebel, and I squeaked with excitement. My aunt just bought an apartment (a penthouse apartment, no less – snazzy!) right on the bay, which we spent some time exploring when we visited a few months ago.
The photos I am sharing are not superb, my dad took most of them and it was raining terribly while we were there. And, hopefully my aunt doesn’t mind my plastering photos of her apartment on the Interwebs!
The view into the city from the apartment.
The balcony. With hot tub. Sigh.
Yes, that would be the view from the BATHTUB.
They had an espresso machine built in above their stove.
David dyed his hair BRIGHT blonde. You can imagine my surprise when we met at the airport at SFO (I flew in from NYC to meet him and my parents). We then got on the plane and he informed me that his passport had expired. Thankfully, Canadians will let anyone into their country.
Kidding, of course.
I thought this sign was HILARIOUS.
I was obsessed with these leaves.
At this point I was probably waxing poetic about how we must move to Vancouver.
These next photos are from another building, called the Shangri La, which my aunt’s partner built (he’s a developer). It’s a hotel with apartments on the upper floors. We were taken up to the penthouse, which is shown below. The elevator up to the 60-something floor was all wooden and janky, and I just about peed my pants.
Um, can you imagine having a pool like this 60 floors into the sky??
Some views.

WOW! Beautiful. Really. I have wanted to take a trip to the northwest for years now (I’ve never been, Washington, Oregon anywhere) it just always looks so gorgeous in this continuous fall-ish way.
I live across the river from Canada, and it is beautiful!!! I’ve always wanted to live there, but I’ll settle for these pics.
one of my favourite cities, and I hope to be living there within 10 years – even though I probably said that 10 years ago too! (I currently live further east, in Calgary). Every time I’ve visited the rain stops, the skies clear and it’s sunny, so I have a very skewed version of Van!
Its looks gorgeous. My friend went there for Spring Break once and loved it. I really want to visit
