G'Day Mate!

Yesterday, we had an "Australian Night" at Global Grounds, just as kind of a fun activity to meet people. Phil, from Australia, is working with us for 6 weeks, and so we thought of havinig Austrailia Night. Not a huge turnout, but there were about 8 people who we hadn't met before, and they had a good time and say they'll be coming back!

Here is our BBQ - a hot-plate outside the front of Global Grounds... which was funny to me as we are in a strip mall in the middle of the city, and there were were having a BBQ... hehehe! We "threw some shrimp on the barbie" along with sausages, as Phil said those are things they eat alot... (People in the picture: Justin, Phil, Lila, and Martin)


This is Phil with "VegiMite" a wretchedly salty vegetable and yeast spread that is like the national food of Australia.


Here we are playing a game


And here is our Australian football toss game.

It was great fun, and got to meet new people with whom we hope to build friendships!
