Now a little food

Yesterday Jennifer took us to Rangoli directly from the Airport. It’s an amazing Indian restaurant just off of South Granville. Very chic, good food and pretty fast too. We had portobello curry and chicken, and some great rice. The other thing that was good about this place was all the packaged food they have. You can buy  bags of lamb curry or sag paneer or samosas and keep them in the refrigerator for quick meals later. All you do is put them in boiling water to serve. Chris is making some now after a long day driving to Whistler.

Today we went to an Italian restaurant in Whistler called Il Caminetto di Umberto. We had a green salad, warm goat cheese and pasta.

I have some pictures to post, but it will have to wait till tomorrow. I am exhausted now.

Vancouver Day 1

3 hour flight from LA. Not bad…

OK, so here is why we like Air Canada:

– Planes are clean

– Seats have room for legs! Go figure!

– They have power plugs on each row. Amazing thing on long flights

– Lavatories are actually a little cleaner and bigger than most

– Each seat has its own monitor although it was only a 3-hour flight. Great feature on long flights!

– Only $600 from Seattle to Zurich in August. Unheard of!

– We were allowed 2 bags per person. One of our bags was 13 pounds over, so they charged $75. I flew to Istanbul a couple of weeks ago on Delta. They allowed only 1 bag, and charged $150 for one of my bags because it was 6 pounds over.

And thus we like Air Canada.

On the road to Whistler

Perfect start to an awesome day!

After only sleeping two hours Tuesday night, last night we slept 10 hours and woke this morning to a rainy day – so relaxing!

I went downstairs (29 floors) to buy groceries and when I got outside I realized that, yes… when you see rain through the windows, it is in fact raining outside!

So up I go 29 floors for an umbrella.

With umbrella in hand, I headed out for our breakfast .. half way to the store I realize that i have nothing to actually pay with … so up 29 more floors I go!

With food and coffee well situated in our bellies, we are on the road to Whistler for a workshop… AMAZING scenery!

First stop, a massage at Solarice!!!

We went to bed about 1:30 am and woke up at 6. Can’t believe we managed to get everything we want in two bags.
On the way to the airport now. Thinking of ways to get even more compact. Maybe a MacAir?

Day -1

Tomorrow we are flying to Vancouver. It will be the first step in a series of cities we will be going to in the next few months, and we decided to started a blog to talk about all the yoga and food we experience in our travels. This should be fun!

We had our last class at the Hub today; it was great. A lot of the regulars, and then some new people. We are very happy about how the community at the Hub has grown in the last month.

Rest of the day was getting rid of more things in the house, trying to figure out what to take with us and what to leave behind. Very challenging… Finally we decided to give away our mandukas we had for years; they are sooooo heavy! We are determined to fit in two bags.

Chris is now finishing off the final session of his teacher training in LA. Then we are off to packing. Keep in touch… -Özlem
