Had to venture down to Point Roberts a while back to pick up a parcel I had delivered there. Ended up having a brunch and an adventure with one of my closest friends, Khayla. 

Started our brunch off right with a nice warm beverage at Caffe Capanna. I'll link their Urban Spoon page here. I think I had the Caramel Macchiato that day. 

And of course a delicious breakfast sandwich with shredded potatoes. My obsession with shredded potatoes are very real and very serious. Need to see if I can find out if I can make them myself quick enough for breakfast in the mornings. 

And then I had this heavenly creation. This is the French Onion Soup... I would 10/10 recommend and return to Caffe Capanna just for this french onion soup. It was just fantastic. The cheese, perfectly gooey. The onions, melt-in-your-mouth softness... ugh. Just thinking about it makes me wanna go for a drive. 

Stopped by the beach afterwards. I've been told that the beaches down at Point Roberts are worth checking out. It wasn't the sunniest day, but it was still absolutely serene and relaxing just to slowly walk along it. 

One thing I couldn't help but notice was how smooth and beautiful all the rocks were. Weird, I know; who the hell goes to a beach to admire rocks? Answer? I DO. I used to collect rocks when I was a kid (huuuuge loser I know) but yeah. 

While walking we discovered that someone else had clearly also been enjoying the rocks cause we found this little display on one of the logs. Needless to say, I took a rock home. 

While exploring the rest of the town, we met some friends ! This little guy took a special liking to Khayla. 

We also thought it would be a brilliant idea to buy a disposable camera and take pictures of the Point Roberts that we fell in love with, so that we could print the pictures out and keep them. Yes I realize that we could've just printed the pictures off our iphone, but the novelty of getting an actual disposable camera was too irresistible. 

We also discovered that day Khayla is a creature of nature, and has a "picture-taking pose" that she sticks with. If it works, it works eh? 

We ended our little trip deciding that when we are older, we will buy a vacation home in Point Roberts together. Everything about it was just... amazing, and gorgeous, and awe-inspiring. 

If you live in Vancouver and you just need a day off from the hustle and bustle of the big city, take a drive out there. It definitely was a huge stress relief for me. 

More soon, 

So there was one day when Cathleen and I decided to go to Jericho Beach instead of the typical Kitslano beach. For what reason you ask? No reason at all. Just because we wanted to see the ocean, just because we wanted to take a walk (: We do this a lot. 

We were literally there for only like 30 mins but it was such a nice day.

The sun was shining, the weather was perfect.... 

Cathleen telling an interesting story (:

Jericho was really small, but actually quite a nice beach. Definitely wanna go there more often when the weather is nicer (: 

Sunsets at UBC never fails to amaze me, I think that's part of the reason I want to go there so bad. I feel like the entire campus is an adventure within itself, waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately, I do not get to use this beautiful campus for my educational pursuits, but that doesn't stop me from going there anyways!

One of my favorite places that I've discovered in the UBC area is wreck beach. It really is a beauty, and I recommend to anyone that lives in vancouver that hasn't visited it yet, to find a good day and make the trip down there. You probably won't see any naked bodies soaking up the sun in this season, so if you don't want to see more balls than you'll ever need to see in your life, this is your time. 

Another spot that's quite close to wreck beach is this little diamond in the rough. I'm not going to even try to explain how to get to it, (mostly because I'll just sound like an idiot) but if you can find it, lucky you. It's this tiny little cliff/peak area that allow you see pretty much the whole horizon. It really is a special place. 

Just because you don't attend school at UBC, doesn't mean you can't explore the area ! If you're ever having a boring ol' day and you just need to take a walk, do it at UBC (: it's gorgeous, I promise.
