We arrived in Vancouver on wed. for a weeklong visit to celebrate birthdays and to spend a few days exploring the area north near whistler. We are staying at Sonder, just a short walk from Robert’s place. It has a kitchenette and is operated completely virtually. We spent the evening with Robert and Kira, ate lots of pastries for breakfast and walked the city near the waterfront. We picked up Zoe after school on Thursday and the two of us made our way via Lyft to the sushi class, her birthday present.
What an amazing experience it was to take a cooking class with her. The teacher was young and lively, a “chef” who had spent time in Japan. Zoe loves all things Japanese so this was perfect. She was quite skilled with knives and we created several rolls, made a sesame seed dressing for spinach, then got to eat it all. I have to say it was great fun and I was so proud to be her grandmother. She agreed it was a wonderful birthday present!
