Tragically, the Blue Fox was closed. Faunalia can tell you why this is tragic. We ended up at Floyd's, which just isn't the same. I ran out of batteries so you get one more photo downtown:
Note to self: check out the Milkman's Daughter next visit.
I did treat myself to some Smoking Lily goodies.
On Sunday, I had brunch with MR in Sidney, then spent my eveing with F&L and their rapidly growing kids.
Yes, January on southern Vacounver Island: the locals were sailing or crab fishing, and the snow was already gone.
It was good to see so many friends and colleagues. I got a possible invitation to return in February for a meeting about working in the Arctic (if you've followed this blog, you'll know I have this inexplicable desire to get sent to the Arctic). We didn't get everything settled, but my equipment is functioning well, and *fingers crossed* we might get a chance to do a different experiment. My trip home was mostly uneventful - though I recommend avoiding smaller airports, if you can.
I feel pretty lucky to be met at the airport, with flowers, and come home to a vaccuumed apartment and a contented cat.
