Where we live

Wayfinding at UBC

Click on the link above and then scroll down to see the map.

I just wanted to post a map of University of British Columbia's campus. We're always trying to explain to everyone how amazing the location is: ocean, acres of forest, and campus and our home smashed in between. We live in "Acadia Park," if you want to try out your map skills. What the map doesn't show, is that the forest behind us extends for miles east, north and south of us. We've really been enjoying running in there, submerged in the green of coastal forest.

The University is out on a peninsula, Point Grey. Following the coastline from the northern most point of this map, you would go along a long section of ocean access, Jericho Beach, and would see downtown Vancouver in the distance. I'll add a photo of Abe with Aurora from the wooded part of Jericho Beach.
It really is a phenomenal city as far as layout and natural beauty go. You can be all alone walking along the beach and you're about 6 miles from downtown.

Speaking of beaches.... As if you didn't already have reason enough to come and visit us, Wreck Beach (find it on the map) which is accessed pretty much from campus, is a nude beach. They have annual "Buns on the Run" to raise funds and awareness.... Need I say more?
