Trip to Canada

We just came back from our super fun trip to Vancouver. We were in town for the Society for American Archaeology's annual meeting. We both had presentations to make on Thursday, and we were also there to hear other sessions and to discuss our work and the new research of other people.
We went to Seattle first and then headed up to Vancouver. The day we got there we got a great northern surprise!



I know, I know. everybody else is used to exciting weather, but it is about 80 degrees here in Tucson - even clouds are unusual.


We also tried Poutine. So. so. so. good. Can an American make this? I don't know, but I sure am going to try. It was little wads of cheese over thick fries with brown gravy over all. Delicious.
We did a lot more eating and a lot more sightseeing that I will have to tell you about in future posts. It's just too much for one day. Anyway, it's good to be back, even though I am officially in love with the northwest.

Oh man. I could eat poutine every day! Well, maybe once a week, but every day sounds more impressive.

I saw a show on the Food network about Poutine. Apparently there are many versions. some involving gravy. some involving cheese and some involving squirrels and bits of gravel. The french are weird. so, they let Dr. Jones back into the country eh? congrats on the snow. woohoo!

Thanks Ellie and Tanner. We missed all of you too.
And yes, poutine is just about the best food in the whole world.
