A spoonful of Canadiana

It’s labour day weekend over here and what a glorious weekend it has been! For the last 48 hours, I have been catching up and cruising this grand city with one of my oldest and dearest friends - Courtney Wotherspoon!

We had to make the most of the 48 hours we had available and so we immediately headed to a nearby pub for a few. Man, it was great to see her smiling face! Lots of catching up on the homefront and showing off this fantastic city to her! The weekend was filled with superb brunches, a tour of Te Papa (and a few shops to Pete’s great delight!) and several bevvie bars where we were able to quench our many thirsts throughout each afternoon.
☺☺☺

Cool structures outside Te Papa

With the World Cup. "Touristy"? Yes. But the pics were free!

An afternoon of brewskies and scrabble

Mac's brewery (like a 50's living room)

On the second evening, we caught the NZ vs. England rugby match at the stadium. Great times and awesome atmosphere. Oh ya – and the game was great too (NZ crushed England)!


Excited for the game!

No I'm not giving the finger - I'm holding the bottle cap! :P

Kiwis score!

The waterboy (aka rehydration facilitator - the dude in yellow) takes his job very seriously!

The two days absolutely flew by but it was so great to see a friendly face from home.

Miss you already Court!!!
