My Friday walk just didn't seem to do this place justice. I needed to get out and share it with friends, so a few well-placed phone calls soon found me in the company of my beloved Canadian friend Jessica (go Maple Leaves!) and her two friends Vicky and Chrysa visiting from Montreal, and Scott my fellow American. Given the friendly 
brother/sister-like rivalry between the Yanks and Maple Leaves, it was a great opportunity to break down the barriers and bring our nations a little closer together (even if the Canadian dollar IS actually stronger than the greenback). Then again, when you're living on a tiny little green rock off the coast of Antarctica, the differences tend to dissolve into nothing.Rama for Prime Minister
After our sunset walk, we agreed to take a drive and find some eats. Titahi Bay on a Saturday night is pretty quiet, so we took a drive down the road to Johnsonville and stumbled upon Rama's Malaysian/Indian restaurant. Turns out they just opened a week ago and the owner was keen on making a favourable impression on his new guests. He came out and personally greeted us, and even sent a complimentary bowl of chicken curry to our table.Thanks for the Great Memories
We were so moved by our experience that we felt it simply wouldn't be enough to just pay and leave. We decided to round up the chefs and servers from the kitchen and have them pose for a photo with our now unified team of Maple Leaves and Yanks. In all a great walk and great dinner.Other photos from the afternoon (click on each photo for a larger image).
