There is an anthropology museum in Vancouver?  I didn't hear about it when I was there.

Not only is there an anthropology museum, but it's right at UBC!

It was tres cool.  The day after I met up with the Languish crew I wound up walking to it from downtown (pro-tip - don't do this), but the museum was worth it.

There is absolutely no way I would walk from downtown to UBC  :lol:

Lauren and I have to break down camp,  but we've got it down to a science now. Should be done by 9:30, and in Vancouver by 10:30 or 11.

When are you aiming to leave Vancouver?

Trying to figure out whether it's better to try to meet afterwards...

We can do Museum while you baby shower, then a supper?

(I might think Meri's hitch to that might be the long drive back home before work the next day)

I am thinking I might find a motel to stay the night, as there are also a couple First Nation art galleries I might want to check out, which I assume would be closed.

I can probably do mid afternoon too, but dinner is a distinct possibility. I may, however, show up with the wife and kid depending on the timing.

Not sure. We have a five plus hour drive home, so that's a factor. I'm pretty sure that Lauren isn't going to want to get in too terribly late, either, mostly because she's fighting in two heavy tournaments in two days and will probably be exhausted.

So.. at a guess? We'd probably want to be out by no later than 3pm.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Baby??? :wub: :wub: :wub:

Mid-afternoon is better than supper, if it's possible.

I thought supper was mid-afternoon.  But I may be a culinary barbarian.  :sleep:

I use dinner and supper interchangeably.

We need a dinner/supper map.

On a lark I typed it into the google machine, and...

I hate the word 'supper', it sounds stupid to me and like something a yokel would say.  According to the map I grew up in a little blue bubble. :)

But you live in deep red territory now.  :P

So if you go to a restaurant in the Dakotas do they have a "dinner menu" with reduced portions and prices?  :hmm:
