Back in Vancouver

I landed in Vancouver Tuesday night. I quickly felt a poignant mix of emotions. I was sad to have left this city in the first place but glad to be back. Many memories came to surface. Hints of couldas, shouldas and wouldas. I took the new SkyTrain line straight downtown and arrived to the apartment of the first friend to host me during the Olympics. It's in the West End, close to where I used to live. The nostalgia was mixed with curiosity for all the new things, including a crazy dancing set of spotlights in place for the Olympics.
