Back to Canada for now...

I drove back to Canada today. Slept in though so didn't quite make it away as early as I had planned; must have been tired.

First order of the day was to check the coverage of the tennis Kirsten had recorded for me on Tivo. It was in HD and her flatmate had a massive LCD. The picture was real nice ;O)

Caught up with Kirsten for breakfast and she gave me a quick tour of her workplace. Pretty cool. Two gyms, soccer fields, pool, climbing wall, tennis courts, running tracks etc... I would never leave work!

Then it was full steam ahead for Vancouver. I was trying to make it back before the rental car place closed since I didn't know what the parking would be like around the hostel. I was aiming for 5:30pm but didn't make that time cos of the traffic in Vancouver. Thankfully I got the time wrong and the place closed at 6pm.

Once I returned the car I lugged all my shopping and bags back to the hostel. I must have looked like a homeless person but no one took a second look since there are so many other homeless around!

Caught up with Dean and Michelle for the first time tonight. Went to the Railway Bar and caught a bit of the solo piano accordion act that was playing that night. It was an "interesting" crowd, full of unusual characters.

Had two beers and that was it. Bedtime. More shopping tomorrow!
