Visitor from Space

This weekend, my friend Maria visited me from Leiden, Holland, en route to Sweden! We ate (home-made Caribbean shrimp soup) and walked around sunny SB and ate (Belgian pommes Chez Tin Tin) and talked about work and ate (whole grilled fish and plantains at the Africa Bistro in my neighbourhood.)





We even went Nordik walking with the usual Sunday gang, stopping on the way home at a mariachi festival where we ate fresh burritos ... to grill Norwegian salmon on a Canadian cedar plank.

... and still had room to eat roast marshmallows :-)

What a great end to the week - I also made it to Round 2 of the Great Canadian Astronaut Search.
