NOTES

• Cora restaurant chain has a sun very similar to one I used to draw 20 years ago
• BC Ferries Connector very nice experience, but traffic bad coming into Vancouver, so we got off early and took the Blue Line to the hotel rather than take the bus to Pacific Central Station
• Columbia Street between Keefer and Powell sketchy
• Heard steam clock chime 6:00 p.m., then watched it at 6:15 p.m. as it intoned the first four notes
• Maple Tree Square a lovely spot
• Hill's NW Coast Native Art store overwhelmed me with masks, heavyweight wool clothing, paintings, jewelry...great!
• Catfe:
• Walkin appointment late in the day
• A few cats out and active, a few asleep
• Purchased Catfe tee shirt
• Food
• Cora Victoria: 
• Strawberry-banana 3 layers of pancakes and a delicious mix of strawberries and bananas, drizzled with strawberry sauce and served with English cream Cora style. Also offered in a smaller serving.
• Ode to oatmeal: Oatmeal with English cream Cora style, blueberries, strawberries and harvest crunch*. All drizzled with pure maple syrup and served with toast. 
• BC Ferry
• Veggie Burger, fries, root beer
• Espresso shot
• Trees Organic Coffee - 
• Chocoholic Cheesecake For the serious chocolate lover. Layers of dark and milk chocolate will satisfy any craving
• Really great cheesecake!
• Vegan Pudding & Company - 
• Matcha Green Tea Pudding: with roasted black sesame sauce
• Cashier seemed like a sterotypical Japanese anime character, in a positive way...like a manic pixie with infectious enthusiasm
• Black Lounge & Casual Kitchen - 
• Pint of Guinness, Chicken Mushroom Alfredo spaghettini topped with pan fried mushrooms, spinach, fresh garlic alfredo, fresh tomatoes and green onion served with garlic toast
• Probably best chicken alfredo I've had
• Catfe - Chococat hot chocolate, Mulberry tea
