Have you ever noticed how beautiful the bayshore area is?  Even on a cloudy Vancouver day, Bayshore Drive is stunning.  I love how quiet the neighbourhood is, how close you are to the water and to Stanley Park and how it feels like such a community over there.  It is close enough to downtown but far enough that you are not in the midst of everything.   I have met some amazing people around the area in particular the concierge at 1616 Bayshore Milanka.  She is such a pleasant person to be around and extremely helpful as well.  If you are ever in the Bayshore area, make sure you say hi to her!
