January 1, 2007. Exactly 3 weeks until I leave. Can you believe it’s 2007? We celebrated the end of 2006 in style. Dinner at Ocean 617 was great. It was cool to see Sean again, and yes, he is as good a chef as everyone says he is. I had the Foie Gras Parfait and it was delicious. The Chocolate Molten Cake with white chocolate ice cream was so rich and tasty and it was different than other molten cake I’ve tried because the centre is filled with peanut butter instead of chocolate Yummy!
The party at Vibes was fun with good music and a good hor d’oeuvres station and a white chocolate fountain. We then headed over to Au Bar where we hung out until hunger hit and we decided to go for food. Unfortunately at 4am our options were limited so we decided on Denny’s. But trying to catch a cab at this time is about as difficult as trying to find a pair of Manolos in your size at a sample sale. We ended up walking which is a painful experience in our heels. To top it off, it was raining. What a way to end a night huh? But it was definitely a story to tell though. We made it to Denny’s and I thoroughly enjoyed my country fried steak and eggs. Something about the grease after you’ve been drinking. J So Roeina and I ended our night with a cab ride back to my place and into bed at 6am.
I woke up at 1pm because I wanted to go to Hot Yoga at Yaletown Yoga. I have a complimentary week there and I wanted to try all the different style of yoga. Hot Yoga was great but it is definitely a workout. I could feel my heart pounding at times and I had sweat dripping off me. It was a great experience and I’m looking forward to this upcoming week of yoga.
I spent the rest of New Year’s Day just chilling. I did some laundry and read about the tours I’m taking and trying to figure out what visas I would need. The next three weeks will all be about getting ready for my trip. So get ready for some chaos ahead.
