SOOOOO, we're alive
It was such an awesome trip too. The roads were pretty good. The Merritt to Kamloops and vice versa strech was the worst and we did fine on that.
Funniest thing, we were stuck in rush hour traffic just past Langely and lo and behold, a Skyline passes us. So I make Ricki pace it so I can take a picture
Well, it was painfully obvious (flash, nighttime, strange chick hanging out car window with camara
) and he gets all freaked and pulls in behind us, little bit later he revs up, pulls past us and paces us again, I assume for another photo-op so I take a couple more, lol, he paces us a little bit longer just to see if he can make sense of what just happend and then takes off, lol.
Went Robson Street shopping, and for food, transit down there is an intimidating adventure to say the least, so thankful for Ricki and friendly people, lol. We went to this Greek place, totally awesome, this lady was belly dancing (don't worry, I have pics, lol) and she was dancing with a glass of water on her head, doing the craziest shit and she didn't spill! More shopping, blah blah, accosted by strange drunk (hmm, no that should be plural!), blah blah, finally made it back to the hotel, nice little sleep, wake up OMG, it's snowing!!!! WTF!?! Got over the initial shock/swearing/more swearing, then more shopping, and on the road again! Made it back in 3 or so hours
Fun FUN FUUUN!!
Oh, and on a random note, I didn't realize that Vancouver nightlife just kinda walked around downtown? All the stores were pretty much closed, yet there was hundreds of people just walking the streets. . . . odd.
