Weekend 'O Fun in Vancouver

On Friday after work, Pammer and I headed into Vancouver to hang out with our friends Mike and Jen. We went out for supper at an ever-so-ethnic restaurant called Sanafir which served a(and i quote from the website) "tapas menu offering exotic flavours showcasing North African, Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranian and Indian" cuisine. We concluded our evening with some homemade Americanos and a rousing game of Settlers of Catan. Pammer and I stayed the night, because then we could assist in the condo-Christmas-decorating that was to happen on Saturday!

We all awoke to a light dusting of snow. This is the view from Mike and Jen's window. The snow was not to deter us, however, and us girls fit in some shopping while Mike went to help a friend move. Here's Jen and me striking a pose infront of a fountain

And the ever-so-famous (and ever-so-expensive, thus also ever-so-controversial) Olympic countdown clock..2010 here we come!!!
We stopped for a bite to eat and to warm up at Caffe Artigiano

And then it was back to Mike and Jen's where Mike whipped up a wonderful appetizer-style dinner

Cheers to us putting up the tree!
After dinner we hung out a while longer, and by this time the snow was falling quite steadily. Pammer and I headed back to Abbotsford, driving in some shady shady road conditions. You know I'm a prairie girl and love the snow, but add in hills, ice, other bad drivers and a new car i really didn't want to crash into the ditch and you can understand why I was so tense and scared!! We got home safely, right around midnight, and boy was I happy to go to sleep!!

And thus concludes a wonderful time in Vancouver!!
