Heading Home

Tomorrow my father and I leave Vancouver, BC, and head home. This is sort of a turning point because right now I am the farthest away in terms of distance from Lancaster that I will be during this trip. And it's time to get back. My father and I are talking about trying to ride hard and get ahead of schedule, but it'll require some hard riding just to stay on schedule, so I don't know if we can manage that. We'll see.

Friday my uncle took us out to the nicest restaurant I've ever been to in my life. There was a bottle of wine on the list for 10,000 (sic). Now, that is Canadian, but that's still several months of law school right there. It's an Alsatian from '45, which explains the price if you think about it. I had a seafood appetizer that arrived looking like a miniature tower of Babel with a shrimp at the top. I managed to eat the shrimp without looking stupid, much to my surprise and delight. I ordered a sea bass entree. It was also very good. I showed my parents how to eat bread properly. All this was accomplished by the powers conferred on me because of my wearing of a Sleater-Kinney t-shirt. All things are possible in Sleater-Kinney.
