Greetings from Vancouver airport. It's one o'clock in the morning UK time, I'm sitting in a dim cafe that smells of stale chips, and I still have four hours to go till my connecting flight for Whitehorse departs. Who ever said travel writing was glamorous?

Can't wait to find out what you think of Whitehorse. Post often, if you can and let us live vicariously through you!
BTW, and slightly unrelated, I tried the Tibetan butter tea last night at a Tibetan restaurant in Toronto. I did what Yeshi advised you to do in "Fried Eggs with Chopsticks" - tried to forget it was tea and drank it all down like soup! :)
I just finished reading It's Not about the Tapas***, a very clever title - and I just want to marry you. (or see you bike at the Mountains of Misery or at the Bridge to Bridge this next season). We can admonishly admire, adore and equate the facile events of our freakish cycling tans in an unambiguous way. Seriously.
***my aunt, a wonderful woman in her reading club told me about your book - who they read (in Wilmington, Deleware) and said I HAD to read it...because she knows I'm a avid cyclist (I train 7 days a week - 350 miles, all weather), love cooking (I make cookbooks on the side), and Barcelona is where I want to retire (I't's not about the tapas).
I think you are now my new hero. What is your ring size? Don't complicate things with Campy versus Shimano.
gives a very lispy spanish version of glathias to secure my Catalonian reluctancy to my own American language - but things are uber-cool when you have cava sprayed from afar from a booby bar wench over her head (that needs a serious feminist revision), and some shaved lamb.
I love Gaudi's architecture, and the Spanish landscape...oh the cycling.
What ring size?
Hi Lotus
Hope you found the tea palatable - I found it tasted better (or less foul) with each serving. So maybe you just have to persist with the stuff
Hi s
Thanks for your post. I'm really happy to know you liked It's Not About the Tapas. Sounds like you're American so you might be interested to know that Tapas is going to be published in the States this June by Bantam Dell. It has a new cover for the American market which I think looks really great. As for cycling escapades, well, I'm afraid I'm a bit tied up right now dogsledding in the Yukon...
