And finally, the one thing I wanted to pick up on the way home, which is why I left Canada earlier than normal. Tin Roof Ice Cream from Edaleen Dairy, my favorite ice cream. :9

With the sheer amount of snacks and chips and candies and my food restrictions, I'm going to be set for snacks for a LONG LONG LONG time.

The Canadian snack haul. Tag yourself, I'm Indomie Ramen Spicy Pack.

I've not been able to find the maple candies I really like twice now. I hope they still make them.

While I was in Canada, the Texas Czech Fairy visited the house!

A wonderful birthday gift from Crystal and Lissa. A lovely red bowl to replace my grandmothers old red (radioactive!) fiestaware that shattered during the move from Texas to Seattle. Love it, as my IKEA mixing bowls are...not the best.

I rather liked The Flash. Or was it Amanda Pays. I think it was Amanda Pays.

HELLO THERE I AM WATCHING YOU DO THINGS

I love me some Davie Villiage. Even the back alleys are painted and proud.

After the last few weeks, I needed this.

Wouldn't it be nice if Duvall got one of these? ::Hint hint::

Of all the stuff I did these last three days? The one thing I keep thinking about? That gochujang burger. DAMN that was GOOD.

450 miles in Canada. Possibly a record!

Canadians know how to snack.

Where I am now.

Proper poutine. And a Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich too boot.

Where I am now.

I'm leaving Canada sometime Thursday. Trying to make a schedule for what I want to do before leaving, since I want to hit a place in the US before it closes.

LEaving Canada is always melancholy for me. For many years, I aimed at the Vancouver area being my home. While it didn't happen, I still feel more connected here than I do back in Washington.

I don't want to flee the US should the federal government go the way of Florida and Texas. But if I do, I hope I could make Vancouver my home again. It FEELS like home, still....
