First Time Visit to Vancouver, BC

For my cousin's birthday this year, my other cousin and I surprised her with a brief road trip to Vancouver along with a friend of hers. From the puffer coat trend to the way drivers love to honk or no justified reason to the serious culture of pastries and coffee shops, getting to experience a glimpse of Canadian life was a highlight of my year. We also got to visit a Christmas festival on its first night of opening, which was super fun for getting into the holidays spirit! This trip ended on a painful note of catching COVID for the first time, but I am grateful for the speedy healing process and the privilege of being able to keep those around us safe.
