Day 33 - Worship at the Church of Pancakes, ANZAC Day, and Jobs

Ok, so apparently there are some picture starved folks out there. Hopefully this won't disappoint. It's nothing special but gives you an idea for how cool this pancake-place-in-a-church is and how much of an impression it's made on Will. Yesterday was ANZAC Day which is the equivalent of Australia/New Zealand Remembrance Day. Apparently there was a 4:30 a.m. ceremony at the war memorial (see pictures from our Brisbane! blog). We decided to skip that one, and had hoped to make the parade at 10 a.m. but it was over by the time we got downtown. There were still streets blocked off, plenty of marching bands walking around, horse poo and service men and women all out in uniform. Just like Stampede!

Seeing as we missed all the fun we decided to go to church for a maple and pancake fix. The place was packed but Will managed to get some great photos of the outside and inside. Seriously, the best breakfasts around.
 
Oh, did I happen to mention that I got work? Not just one job, on Thursday I had two interviews and two job offers. Unfortunately neither directly related to public relations. I will be starting with Zenith Hospitality Services on Monday and with Starbucks on May 12. Although not the ideal job, both are good paying positions. It gets me out finally DOING something.

Glad to be able to read your journals. Very interesting indeed and more glad that you found the pancake church as we were worried that with no jobs you may be starving. Really miss you, ya you guessed it, we're having computer problems. However, as well miss seeing your car on the street. Take care of yourselves & happy travels.

imsoyvyg.. "i'm so yvyg" Yvyg is an Ewok word meaning the same as bleah. Not to be confused with "yubnub" which means "good or yes" in Ewokonese.

Great news about the jobs! That dear little pancake church was the first restaurant I was allowed to go to as a teenager, on my own, without parents! It still gives me warm and fuzzies when I drive past 25 years later! Best Wishes, A-M
