Greetings from Green Lake

Sunday was the second day of global Pokemon Go Fest, so after a quick morning walk at Idylwood Park to get a jump on the day's research, we went to Green Lake to meet Daniel and Cahaya. We walked around the lake with the dogs and did many raids together, stopping for lunch at the excellent Bongos Cafe for Caribbean food. They had brought me pins from Pokemon Go Fest in New York earlier in the month, and we brought them Pokemon-themed tea from one of the arts festivals. Katherine was on call so she could only raid remotely, but she joined us for a few and caught more shinies than I did.

We stopped to get drinks and acai at Kitanda on the way back to Daniel's house, where we got my parents and Adam on a Skype call before heading home in the afternoon. After lunch and snacks out, we weren't hungry for dinner, so we made sandwiches while watching late-in-the-day baseball. Then we watched Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on Disney+ because I'd been in the mood for it since seeing an ad for it the other day; it's actually a better movie than I had remembered, not as sharply focused and edited as the first but the messiness makes it more emotional for me, particularly whenever T'Challa comes up.
