05/28/2004: "A Friday night in Wellington"

The rain that's been pouring down for the last 6 hours (in varying levels) in no way dampens the activities to be found along Courtenay Place. Ranging from the quiet sort of dinner and a movie crowd on the one end, folks of all ages taking advantage of the late shopping night at the mall (open late versus the 5:30pm-6pm end of trading hours), those taking in the evening bar/club scenes, or the 14-year-old girls sneaking a smoke between the buildings, there's a bit of something for most. Sadly, I didn't find many options for ducks, however, the puddles from all the rain kept me sufficiently delighted to enjoy the stroll down Courtenay at any rate. But despite it being the early hour of 9.30pm here, I'm in for the night and ready for some sleepy eyes. Ta!
