Vancouver, Canada is a city that takes great pride in their multiculturalism. This Friday, Vancouver will make their biggest multicultural move yet by literally opening up their city to the world for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. This will mark British Columbia’s first time hosting the Olympic Games, although it is Canada’s third.

If you like to cook/bake with wine, olive oil & sambuca - this is the dessert for you!

Before heading out for our final full day in Sydney, Bob and I debated how to spend our short remaining time. I suggested the New South Wales Art Gallery, the Australian Museum, St. Andrews' Cathedral, the Sydney Aquarium, and the Sydney Tower. I marked these on a map – in the order that made the most sense. Bob vetoed the museum, art gallery, and aquarium.
“But, that only leaves us the Tower and St. Andrews. We'll be done in no time,” I protested.
