I lost my post yesterday that said "We're in Vancouver"... so here's the shorter version in a recap. We're in Vancouver for the wedding of a childhood friend of Matthew's. The wedding was beautiful - in Stanley Park at The Pavillion and I met a lot of the people that Matthew grew up with in the Slocan Valley. Today we slept in like crazy and then had brunch with my parents. I surprised my mom with my new short haircut - yes, I did it, I cut off the dreads. As much as I loved the look - they were just so not practical for the lifestyle that I lead... going hiking in tick infested forests when you have a 124 nappy dreads isn't the smartest idea... plus they are way warm in the summer, PLUS I can't wear my horseback riding helmet with them... so it was time for them to go. I'm glad I did have them, though - I would have regretted not having done it at least once in my life.

Anyway lunch was great - we then picked up some dogfood and we're now on our way down to the Greyhound station to catch our overnight bus to Nelson. We get there at 5:10 AM... we leave at 6PM. One hour shorter than the ride down here. Heh.

At any rate... I hope this post works - if not I'll be updating from home with even fewer details. ;-)
