Last Saturday, I had a layover in Vancouver, BC. I took the Sky Train (how appropriate, right?) into downtown. Kari (freedom38) met me at the train station. Lots of hugs! It was like we'd known each other forever!
She took me to a brewpub called "Steamworks" where we enjoyed some beer and stuffed mushrooms while I showed her all the Vegas pictures on my iPad.
Then we had dinner. Interesting food trivia: In Vancouver, all burgers must, by law, be cooked to "well-done" unless the meat is ground on site. So, because I like my burgers to be still mooing when served to me, I ordered fish.
We were having a great time...but the best was yet to come. Kari had brought a small brown paper bag. She reached in and pulled out...NANAIMO BARS!!
For those of you who don't know what a nanaimo bar is, please go back and read a blog posted by freedom38 on December 1, 2012 entitled "What I'm having for breakfast..."
Kari is SO funny! She couldn't resist and had already eaten one of the bars. So she wrote on the paper bag, "Sky, I'm sorry" Aaahahahaha! We each ate one and I was in heaven. Seriously, guys, these bars are worth making a special trip to Canada for.
She walked me back to the train station and let me keep all the rest of the nanaimo bars. THANK YOU, KARI!!
And the best part? We didn't have to even think about smoking! Yay!
Now, I've spent a couple of hours trying to get the photos of our meeting posted in this blog and I just seem to have lost my photo-posting ability today. But I want to go ahead and post this now. I'll keep trying to add the photos... Maybe I can at least post links to the photos on Photobucket.
