A Canadian in Search of the Emerald City

The intent and purpose of this blog is to inform my loved ones (that's you!) of my comings and goings. While I do love writing and receiving emails, sometimes it just isn't possible to correspond with each of you individually. You may call it "laziness". I call it "proper time management".

Bags are packed...

Well, as the title of this post indicates, I'm just about ready to fly home for the holidays. Looking forward to going to a place where I don't need to apologize for being from Ontario! I expect that this post will not be very long, as I need to be up at 4:45 am tomorrow to catch my flight.

I had an exam on Tuesday night, and since then, the week has been quite relaxing. Sleeping in, yoga, working out, Christmas shopping and finishing off half a dozen eggs. Thursday I went on an adventure to Vancouver's North Shore, which included a ride on the Seabus across the Burrard Inlet and a gander around the Lonsdale Quay. The Lonsdale Quay is reminiscent of Toronto's St Lawrence Market or Winnipeg's Forks Market. I had curry soup from the Soup Meister and bought some fancy tea from the Blue Teapot. And drooled over all the food that I couldn't buy because I was leaving in 4 days...I also got my hair cut. (Actually, I got them ALL cut.) Not a big change...just shorter. Last night, Jesse and I tried to get out to Stanley Park to look at the Christmas lights, but got distracted by Shameless burgers, Canadian back bacon and Caesars, and we didn't make it on time. Today I packed and finished off Melissa's Christmas present. I wanted sushi tonight, but for some reason the 3 sushi restaurants on my block were closed. Devastating...

Anywho, I should wash my dishes and go to bed. I should probably also send out a Christmas card while I have access to email addresses...
