Week 26.5: Guest Post

Hi. I’m the Antisocial Violinist’s Partner in Crime, doing a guest post in the middle of the week as predicted.  Anywho, AV said that I could write about anything at all, from cello playing to how she threw me against the door handle and gave me a lump on my elbow - so here goes nothing at all, just a post about the Uninteresting life and times of AV….

When we were on the airport train, my long hair came in handy. I tried to get off at a stop that I thought was right, but *cough* actually wasn’t *cough*, and if I hadn’t had the hair for AV to grab and pull me back on with, I would have been abandoned on some obscure stop. For some reason I can navigate perfectly well when there’s no one to tell me where to go, but after that, well, things like the above mentioned happen. Well, it provided entertainment for the other train-riders.

My first day, AV took me on a 6-stage multi-cache: the Maltese Falcon! It’s my favourite movie.


Saw a real Maltese falcon, a copy of the original

We stopped by Chinatown on the way and I got some seaweed. Now I have to eat it all before I leave, because AV doesn’t want it to stay here; she doesn’t like exotic stuff like that.

Old St Mary's in Chinatown

Canada: the Great White North!

Yum!!

On a side note, I washed her slow-cooker and cleaned her microwave. Now she can’t complain about me eating her food. I guess I do that too, but it should cancel out (sort of) now.

Lunch

We don’t always eat her food, though. My second night, we went out to Sam’s diner and swiped all the orange marmalade. Oh, and we also had dinner there.
 
On my last day, we visited the Sutro Baths. At first when AV mentioned this, I thought that this was a real bathhouse that was still running. But this was something much cooler (in both temperature and awesomeness); RUINS!! Real, live (okay, maybe not live, but real) ruins of a bathhouse!! Photos don’t do it justice at all – it was amazing. 



AV wanted me to take a picture of a dead dragonfly that was floating in the water, but I took a picture of her instead

Weeeee!!

"Hazardous" is one of AV's favourite words



Light at the end of the tunnel



And now it is time to bid you, dear anon, farewell as my visit is nearing its state of termination. Also, I want to go eat more seaweed.

Byeeee!!
