As per usual, time is fleeting. A summary, then:
After checking into what it would cost to remain in California, we decided that it was too much. At this point of the doco funding, the money is coming directly from our pockets. And when Alaska Airlines wanted several hundred more US$, we decided to stick to the initial plan.
And that means I am now back in Vancouver.
Friday we drove from Sacramento back to San Fran. Traffic was a nightmare and we wasted hours and hours stuck in gridlock. Eventually we made it to Haight-Ashbury for a late evening wander about. A few dollars were dropped at Amoeba Records - the best used record store on the planet.
Then it was a quick jaunt to the Motel 6 near SFO. After a greasy meal at a greasy spoon, it was off to slumberland.
The alarm went off at 4:30am... and we headed to return the car and then dragged our asses to the airport.
The flight departed at 7:40am and we were in Vancouver a few hours later. Randy got to go home. I got to go to work.
It is now Sunday and I am off to shoot more of the indy film I've been working on. Then work.
Tomorrow, I'll begin sifting through the wealth of material we came home with. Christa's story is amazing... and will make for a great film. Actually it could be several films.
The pressure is on to do a bunch of other business related things before I head to Europe in less than 2 weeks. I've got GST, taxes, an article to write for the Straight, and a job interview lined up over the next 5 days.
There was good news on the Macedonian visa front: it arrived Saturday via FedEx. I am now set to ramble around the last remaining bits of undiscovered Europe.
And with that, it's time to go.
Cheers!
