Welcome to Kitsilano

This weekend didn't involve a new baking project, although I did make pizza for dinner last night using the dough recipe mentioned here. Instead the focus of my weekend was finding a new home with a move in date of the first of May, hence why it was the top priority. Armed with sunshine and a lot of hope, we made a few appointments for Saturday in the Kitsilano area. Kitsilano, or Kits as it is affectionately referred to by the locals, is located on the west side of Vancouver and bordered, in part, by the beach. It is full of an array of interesting stores and restaurants/cafes. So by Saturday afternoon it was determined that the second viewing was our top choice, a cute smallish two-bedroom apartment just a few blocks from the beach. It was even closer to all the essential stores such as for grocery shopping, as well as the bus stop to get downtown for work. After a little bit of an anxious wait on Saturday evening for the call that would decide our housing fate, we were relieved by Sunday morning to find that it was ours. Now the real fun begins with packing and moving. I can't wait to be settled in and to start exploring my new neighbourhood, especially when summertime sets in.
