Vancouver Love
Since meeting Will and Erin, I've had great love for Canada and it's people. (Furthered even more by the Karla and Gary). Ask me to sing the national anthem, because I will. I have so much love for Canadians. We had the opportunity this weekend to travel to Vancouver to demonstrate the ProvoCraft YUDU screenprinting system at a indie craft show. Outside of missing our original flight, the trip was fantastic and we are hoping we can visit Vancouver again in the warmer months.
Good Eats: We had coffee at Caffe Artegiano. Apparently its baristas have been winning the latte art competitions for years. Although the espresso was very strong, it was a great atmosphere and wonderful kick start for the day. We joined our Vancouver friends for Honey Donuts in Deep Cove, which was a quaint and untouched town nestled in a mountain cove. The mountains towered, the evergreens forested, and the ocean sparkled. It felt magical. I've not had very many cake donuts before, but Honey's maple donut was sweet and sugary, as were the 3 sweet girls we got to share our table with. We also dined at an all you can eat sushi/koren bbq at a restaurant called Shabusen. As a newbie sushi eater, I can't comment too much on the sushi itself, but my all-time favorite roll, tempura yam, was readily available and was DELICIOUS. I think I ate all 9 pieces that I ordered, which is quite the feat for me. We had delicious Thai food as well, but I forgot the name of the restaurant. Bad foodie.
