Safe at home

I texted TCWUTH with the news that we had touched down safely at MSP, she replied with the news that she was waiting for us at baggage claim #8. This made TOPWLH laugh, although I personally cannot imagine why, it is exactly the sort of response I was expecting to receive from our most excellent dafter.

Last evening in Vancouver we dined at the Rain City Grill. The restaurant was recommended by Lonely Planet and we both pronounced ourselves quite pleased with the meal and the experience, most particularly the meal presentation.

Exquisite.

I took this photo out the window of our restaurant from the table where we were sitting.One last thing about those laughing figures, they were placed in that small plot of public park in 2009 on loan from the artist. We couldn't seem to get away from them at any time while we were in Vancouver as here is a newspaper report from The Globe and Mail, a Canadian national newspaper.The artist has lowered the asking price from $5 million to $1.5 million for permanent acquisition.

After dinner we watched the Canucks-Kings Stanley Cup game at the Davern Arms with Bob and Jason and Prinyi. Jason and Prinyi thought we were good luck and should stay over for the next game on Friday. Bob offered that we could stay at his place, Jason said he would come over and cook breakfast.

It all promised to be good fun but we came home instead because . . .

There's no place like home.
