All the way from Arnhem Land...

Tonight we had dinner with one of my high school friends: Pam, and her husband Gregory! They work as teachers in Arnhem Land, right at the top of the Northern Territory in Australia, and are currently on a 6-week US trip with just a few days in Canada. It was so wonderful to see them... and as Pam said, "it's a long way from Dalby"!!

We took the Skytrain in and met them at Vancouver Pacific Central. Then we took them on the Skytrain to their choice of the restaurant options I had researched: Twisted Fork Bistro, a little French restaurant on Granville St. We all had their Mon-Thurs "Blue Fence" special: 3 courses for $25. Delicious!





I hadn't seen Pam since 2002 and had never met Gregory, so we didn't come close to running out of things to talk about. It was so nice to hear some real Aussie accents over here again, and catch up on their lives, travels, etc! In fact, we're planning on seeing them again tomorrow night. Who knows when we'll have such an opportunity again!
