Holiday day4.

We did the flat section of our hiking expeditions yesterday, the Avalon Mall!
Only 21/2 hours but still hard on the feet.
I must have not spent thousands of dollars on great deals, how does one get all that stuff back to the Labrador?
Fran found what she was looking for, so that’s all that matters.
We had a spell with a quick bite at the food court. Normally Fran likes to people watch, not so in food courts, “too many people and too noisy”

Prior to the Mall we spent an hour or so at NIFCO [Newfoundland Independent Film Co Op]. They work in close liaison with OKS in the video area. The building/buildings NIFCO is in is undergoing major interior renovations and up grade, it’s going to be some awesome space, not to mention technically modern.
Thats NIFCO's Steve Cook with he visitor.

After a nice meal at Giovanni Cabot’s [GC], Fran along with 22 of here nursing class of 67 convened at a condo overlooking Quidi Vidi Lake for a wine and cheese do. This is the main purpose of our visit to the capital this trip.
This afternoon we go to a BBQ out in the burbs, then tomorrow its lunch and a tour of “The Rooms”.

While the girls did the re union thing I took a good walk along streets and down to waterfront.
Back at the abode I had the cheese cake cake from GC. GC does a lot of take out pizza, cakes, and cheese cakes. The staff are young and energetic so it’s a good place to have a meal, the beers are good, Quidi Vidi Brewery on tap and the décor casual Mediterranean.

This cake was originally intended for Councilor Shani Duff’s daughter wedding. Unfortunately it collapsed on cooling down, so a replacement had to be made. The collapsed one was not a total lose, half was dumped but the good half was salvaged and sold as afters, it was not that great a cake, but at least they were honest about its origin, or name dropping. Something I'm not prone to.

Better give credit where due, it's mainly blue sky and another warm day in the offing out there, keep it up fog city.
