Erin writing –
Today Christian and I went shopping after meeting with Julie (our landlord). After getting square with the rent for the entire stay, we went to my favorite cafe to get chai and a savory. We bussed it into the city and started looking on Cuba St., Lambton Quay, and Courtenay Place to shop, shop, shop. I don’t know if I have mentioned how incredibly easy the bus system is to navigate making getting around the city a much less daunting task. For all the Rait-Wick women in Colorado – I found the motherlode – a LUSH store!!!!!! I was going to buy stuff but it is more expensive here than on-line. However, I got some suggestions for extreme moisterizing that I can pass on to all interested! The shop lady seemed surprised that we did not have a store in the United States – I wish we did! After Lush, we visited Esprit (yes, they are open here) and Kirkcaldie & Stains (an upscale department store). We quickly departed because everything was very close together and the ceilings were very, very low, lending to a very claustrephobic feeling! After taking the bus back to the house, I went running 4 miles and waited for Abe to return from work. He was late today because he was invited to watch a cardiac bypass surgery, which lasted 6 hours. He was very spooked by the whole thing and immediately went running upon returning from home! We had ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner, watched some TV and went to sleep. See you all tomorrow.

I can empathize with Abe … tho’ I wouldn’t be spooked … they’d still be trying to revive me!

Can’t wait to hear about Lush recommendations – a store in Boulder sells the products! If you feel like seeing a movie, try “V for Vendetta” – you’ll love it. Glad you are liking the people at your rotation, Abe – I look forward to hearing about them. The rotation sounds like it is a good one – despite the fact that you do have to work. Wouldn’t it be ironic if this one was the one you got the most out of and liked the best? Great pix, Er. ILYTP
