I went to Salt tasting room last night. It’s a wonderful amazing place. If you like wine and you like cheese, this place is for you.
I also quite enjoy reading their opening blog. It looks sincere.
As they say on the website:
A restaurant in Blood Alley? With no kitchen or hot food? Which only serves cheese and meat?
If you are walking down Carrall street in Vancouver, going into Gastown. Pay attention when you walk by blood alley. You’ll see a huge salt shaker sign. It’s their smart logo.
I had a tasting plate, which is choice of 3 meat/cheese with 3 condiments. I said I want the oka, and no corned beef and no olives, they just did the rest of the pairing. It was quite tasty. Their menu constantly changes, I can’t wait to go back next time and …
Phoenix, the city.
Phoenix Sky Harbor has free wireless internet!
I love free wireless! All airports should have free wireless.
I still haven’t figured out what’s in Phoenix exactly, as in, major attractions. I keep thinking that there was an old TV show based in Phoenix. Was it Twin Peaks? When we got off the plane the lady said “welcome to Sacramentoâ€?! I got confused.
Random fact of this airport, lots of people travel with their dogs.

I live on Commercial Drive in East Vancouver. It’s famous for having tons of Italians and hippies. I went down to the drive to watch the world cup final yesterday. The whole street is blocked off. FILLED with people. We were lucky enough to park our truck right in front of a bar and watched the game on the truck. It became a community truck with crazy Italian dudes waving flags and dancing. It was a great celebration. The drive was still filled with people waving flags and honking till late at night. Good times all around.
