Colin's Last Day

Man! Time flies when you're having fun... Our week of adventures with Colin was coming to an end. It is always fun to have company, but sad to see them leave. We spent his last Friday prepping ice packs for fish/game shipping, doing laundry, sharing pictures and stories, and enjoying the amazing sunny day.


Eventually, it was time for dinner. Colin had spotted a little Japanese restaurant near our church the past weekend and was dying to check it out. We piled in the car, grabbed some cash (no credit cards are accepted!), and headed downtown.

The restaurant- Yamaya

Walking through the door of this family-run place was like setting foot inside another country. The inside was cozy and decorated with Japanese knickknacks, posters, and photos. We were greeted by the matriarch, had a seat at the bar, and prepared to be impressed :)



The only menus were on the wall (in loosely-translated Japanese)



Starter salad

I opted for the mixed sashimi- a good choice!

We finished our dinners, thanked our hosts, and headed back home for a few rounds of cards before it was time to head to the airport and say our goodbyes. It had been a great week, and I'm already looking forward to his next visit :)
