Thanksgiving 2009
As this was my first Thanksgiving in the States in 3 years, I was unsure what to expect or where I'd end up. Luckily, I ended up right where I wanted I be, enjoying a Thanksgiving potluck with amazing friends, participating in a field goal kicking competition in the rain and mud (of which I unfortunately have no pictures) and playing games galore. It was truly one of the best days ever.

Vancouver BC, on a whim
Last weekend, a visiting Antarctican and I took a journey from Portland to Vancouver with only dim sum for Sunday brunch on our minds. A fun train ride and a long, soggy walk in the rain later, we finally reached our goal, and it was delicious!

A treasure of a book store, complete with hidden gems and an Antarctic collection
Incidentally, I was so hungry from the walk in the rain that I forgot to take pictures of brunch before gobbling it up. You'll just have to trust me that it looked amazing.

Another Softball Season Ends
Back in June, I posted a short blog about a summer softball team that I joined with my friends called the Box Knockers. Well we loved playing softball so much that we kept playing right through the fall. This new fall league finished up a few weeks ago, and team Box Knockers made it to the league championship game! Though we lost, we still had a great time playing under the lights of the field and enjoying the camaraderie that a team sport can provide. Now, we have a long winter break to endure but have plans to join the spring league early next year.
