A Tourist In Your Own City...

It's come to my attention recently, that I haven't experienced a few things in Vancouver. Even though I've lived here for 24.5 of my almost 25 years. (Minus a stint in NYC writing for a newspaper and touring the US giving speeches on feminism.)

I realized, that I've never seen Granville Island Market. Ever. I don't even know where it is, for gods sakes. I've only been to Port Coquitlam twice, and White Rock/Crescent Beach about five times. I've never seen the Abbotsford Air Show, and I've only gone to the Pacific National Exhibition about six times in my entire life. I've been to Lynn Valley three times, and North Vancouver a grand total of about 20 times. That's shocking in a way. I wonder how many other people have never explored their own cities? How the hell have I lived here for such a long period of time, and never ventured to these places? It's stupid things like this, that run through my head, and I wonder if I'm missing out... I suppose there's only one way to find out, and that's to go there, and be a tourist in my own city. Perhaps it will let me see this place, which I'm getting tired of in a different light. (I still love it, but there has to be something more out there... Right?)
