Queen E Park
Today’s sites were the Kitslano Area – a strip of quaint shops and restaurants and Queen Elizabeth Park.
The Queen E Park is built on two old quarries overlooking Vancouver. Plants rise out of a open area carved into the mountain, a little waterfall tumbles down it, and a biodome filled with tropical plants caps the area. It was peaceful and tranquil use of the space.
Plus, there was a giant rubarb literally bigger than three Amy’s. I have pictures but will have to post them later.
Tonight, I swung out to the airport by myself to pick up Dan – labmate and conference attendee. He’s staying here at Casa de Lee. Amy & I took him out to dinner. We had an amazing meal of sushi and Korean barbecue. We ordered both a spicy marinated pork and a medley of seafood – including mussels, cuttlefish, salmon & shrimp. The beauty of the meal was that you cooked the food over a gas grill built into the center of the table. Amy & Dan took turns cooking bits of the meal, refusing to let me play with the fire. Despite that, it was still a great meal that immediately made us all sleepy.
Off to bed,
