Reminded me of Monty Pythons Meaning of Life. "A TIGER???? In Africa???"

Sorry,
This is almost the view from my office:

http://www.westinbayshore.com/cam/index.phpYeah I know, it's AWFUL isn't it? LOL

(Love the scenes here, every angle is a postcard). Without the clouds there is a mountainous backdrop behind the downtown buildings.
Or a nice view of the North Shore Mountains, which can be seen from almost anywhere in Van.

We pay through the nose to live in Van but it is so freakin' scenic and beautiful (yeah it's actually called Beautiful British Columbia too!) that it actually seems worth it.

Funny thing is, I'd give it all up to be on Ventnor Beach, IOW in a heartbeat. I know I'd miss BC something bad ( I am into the recreational life here too) but i'd be where I feel at home, for real.
