Flemish BBQ

Some of you have been asking for an update, so here's a quick one about the weekend:

Barely had I joined the Facebook group "Vlamingen in Calgary" or Erwin & Nadine contacted me and graciously invited me to a barbecue they were having that day with another Fleming, Benjamin. They live at the other end of the city, in the South West (I'm in the North East) and I got there in an hour and a half or so, which is quite fast (it would probably take an hour by car - this place is huge!). Erwin & Nadine have lived here since 2004. They just decided to immigrate one day with their then teenage kids - how's that in your late forties! (hopefully I'm not too far off! ;-). Benjamin (31) has been here for a year, also immigrated. They had lots of stories to tell (and tips to give). I'll see them back next weekend for a picnic for the entire Facebook group, and maybe a "pow pow" (native ceremony).

  1. Good point. This was the campfire after the BBQ. I don't have any pictures of the BBQ itself.
