Breakfast: leftover baklava, water. Packed, checked out of my room and left two bags with the front desk. Visited Vancouver Art Gallery, which was mostly disappointing. Picasso: The Artist and His Muses, Mashup: The Birth of Modern Culture, Harry Callahan, Bharti Kher, I Had an Interesting French Artist To See Me This Summer. When I emerged I discovered that a light rain had begun to fall. The rest of the day provided cool and intermittent light showers. Got a bite to eat at Faubourg: hot roast beef sandwich, cauliflower soup, coffee with milk, water. Wandered around, ending up at the public library where I browsed before napping briefly in a chair. Returned to the hotel, got another small bite to eat at the hotel restaurant: chicken strips and fries with ketchup and honey mustard, red wine. Retrieved my bags from the hotel, rode SkyTrain from Yaletown-Roundhouse to YVR. Arrived over two hours in advance of the flight time; short lines, and customs was easy.
