Default Vacation

Pacific Northwest: Portland, Seattle, and British Columbia. (I'm in British
Columbia right now, but there has been no sign of Chester's crack legal
team, who should have been monitoring the border 24 hours a day waiting to
nab me at entry.)

The food all along the way has been fantastic, from the food carts in
Portland to the fusion cuisine here in Victoria. Since this isn't
rec.food.restaurants, I won't belabor the dining specifics, but the vacation
is the reason my posting here has been so limited.

It's still food - go right ahead and specific away. I for one am all
eyes and certainly interested.

Have you eaten at Vij's? By far the best restaurant we found in Vancouver.

I wouldn't go announcing that name here in the Pacific Northwest. Here's
why.

Scroll down. He's the administrator.

I chose to avoid Vancouver so we could spend more time in Victoria.

"That name"? What name are you talking about? I didn't see anything on the
link which pertained to anything I mentioned.

I second the recommendation for Vij's. OTOH, I second the recommendation
of spending a bunch of time in Victoria. Several times, we have stayed
at the Inn at Laurel Point in Victoria. I don't know how expensive
they may have gotten recently, we'd probably decide it's too much
of a splurge these days. The rooms have a westerly facing water view,
and we were once there when Mercury was an evening star. Most splendid.
