It's hot and humid (or "close," as my old friend Sean Lawton used to say) here in Atlanta. The weather in Vancouver was gorgeous - sunny and in the 70s. Wayne and I took a cruise up Indian Arm on Saturday (north of Vancouver and only accessible by boat and seaplane). We arrived about 10 minutes late (in typical Betsy and Wayne fashion) and thought for sure they would have left without us - but no! They waited, and we were really embarassed as we were led to our reserved table among all of the other people who had bothered to show up on time. Embarassment aside, I'm really glad we went and will post some photos when I return home at the end of the week.
We had two fabulous dinners - one that was part fresh shellfish, part fresh sushi, and part red meat. Yum, yum, and YUM! The next night we had a tasting menu at Cin Cin, an Italian restaurant not far from our hotel. It came complete with wine pairings and was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. I was concerned before we left that we wouldn't be able to spend the $1500 allocated for the trip as part of my award - it turned out to be nooooo problem. Here's a photo of us on Friday night (notice my superfantastic v-neck sunburn...I was planning to go on an 8-mile run and wound up running more like 12 because I got lost....).
