Yes, we know -- we are not really Canadian, but over the years, Canada has been home and so it wouldn't seem right to let July 1st go by without a bit of celebration. Perhaps some of the first in the world to celebrate Canada Day (nothing like being 15 or so hours ahead of many parts of Canada to give you a head start), we were joined by the David and Gillian Kantor for an evening of good times just off the Sydney Harbour.
How do you celebrate such a momentous day, you ask? With pancakes and maple syrup, of course! Granted, the Aussies haven't quite got the whole maple syrup thing down too well, it was still quite good. Nevertheless, The Pancake House in the Rocks does score high marks for North American portions and prices -- should you ever get hungry in Sydney, order pancakes. You even have your option of butter, cream, or ice cream in addition to the syrup. . . . and we wonder why Australia has just been labeled the most obese country in the world!
However, as it is not a holiday here and in just a few short days, we welcome the world to Sydney, the evening was but a brief reprieve before going back to grind. No worries, though -- it is what you expect at this stage!
Until next time, blessings and G'Day!

Chris -- I can send you an emergency supply of maple syrup with the S+L folks if you want (if I don't consume it all before handing it over).
Happy early 4th of July!
God bless,
Matthew.
