Here in Vancouver, we celebrated the new season with friends, food, and
frivolity.
There was a lot of talk about travel -- and especially about a certain
trip that I will be talking in less than 2 weeks.
"You're really going to Russia?"
"Yes, and another beer, please."
"What will you eat in Latvia?"
"Beer."
"What scares you the most about this trip?"
"Drunk Finns."
Happy summer everyone!
