We are thinking an overnight trip to Vancouver in the spring would be a worthwhile cultural activity. We can stay at UBC. Think about what you would like to explore--museums, art galleries, coffeehouses, philosophy clubs, poetry night, slam poetry festival, film festival or a play, improv, tandem bike riding in Stanley Park, a writing workshop with some of Vancouver's best writers ... ooooh.
Let the fun begin!
