Claire's Trip to Brisbane

 

After WorldCALL, Claire spent the weekend with friends Debra Hoven and Tim Hudson in Brisbane. Brisbane is a beautiful city in Queensland; it has a population of about 3 million.

 

 

Here are Debra and Tim, with sons Nocholas, Daniel, and Taurick at the local Western Sizzler (pronounced "sizlah.")

Son Taufiq is missing from the photo because he was in Europe during Claire's visit.
