Canada - Jan20

I think my mother went to work late today, as she was there to see us off. She made us wonton soup for breakfast (yeah, kind of heavy. But who knows when we'll get real wonton soup again?), though I think in secret both Jamie and I were hoping for her spring rolls.

After breakfast Colleen came by and gave Jamie a CD for her birthday, and Jamie gave her a kokeshi doll as a souvenir. A little while after that T&T arrived and we set off for Vancouver. T&T like to take the Coquihalla Highway via Kamloops as it is not as steep as the Highway 97C Connector.

The weather turned out to be fantastic (for winter conditions). We stopped in Merritt to enjoy some fast food at DQ. Our arrival in Vancouver was a little after 7PM. The plan was to meet Sean, but we had not chosen a place. After some discussion it was decided that we should meet at Memphis Blues on Commercial Drive for some meat. Rick was also to meat us there, and he brought a nice lady named Kevin(sp?).

After the orgy of meat we met back at Rick's for tea and chit chat. It's fitting that I'm teaching the English as I love to talk.
