9 Days and Counting



9 Days to go but I can still find time for Little Nest, one of my fav places period. Lucky me I was there today with Dad and Kira who gave this impromptu toast to the Carre clan down under. Little Nest is on Commercial Drive in Vancouver, near my others favs like Bump N Grind Cafe and Dutch Girl Chocolates.

I guess every city has its own Commercial Drive, like what Brunswick Street is to Melbourne. Brunswick Street is the main artery in Fitzroy, a hip Melbourne neighbourhood where I hope to spend a bit of time, and the neighbourhood where cousins Meredith and Andrew live. Super excited to check it out and keen to meet the newest addition to the Carre clan, young Tasman.

Abel Janszoon Tasman was a Dutch explorer (note Dutch connection) and it's where the Tasmanian devil gots its name. People say I can be bit of a Tasmanian devil but I just don't see it.

Anyway, hope to get to Little Nest at least one more time before hitting the road.
