Last night in Vancouver

I am sleepy and full from dinner - not only the best food I've had in Vancouver but, hands down, the best dessert I've had in ages - and both sad and happy that I'm heading home tomorrow.  In four days I've:


  • Wed: Explored Gastown; dinner at the hotel; went out to celebrate a co-worker's birthday
  • Thur: Did a tour by water taxi; Granville Island; the Science Center; dinner near the hotel
  • Fri: The Aquarium; saw some of Stanley Park (by accident); 2 hour tour bus ride around the city; dinner with [livejournal.com profile] chandri
  • Sat: Vancouver high tower thing; took the water bus to North Vancouver and had lunch; decided spur of the moment to go to Grouse Mountain; dinner at Provence Marinaside which, no joke, had the best food I've had since I got here.  And I got a free cookbook from them.  How kick ass is that?
Overall, I've packed a lot into my personal time here, doing two or three things a day.  I might have overdone it but I'm glad I did.  So, home tomorrow, to my friends and family, and cat (god, Marion must have gone insane by now and driven everyone to distraction), and normal life.  And I look forward to it, even though I really do wish I had another week to putter around.

Another week to sleep at least.
