Silvia Aidar's 40th birthday surprise party in Vancouver (10-Mar-2001)

Although Silvia's birthday will be celebrated on her real birthday on 02-Apr-2001 in Brazil, today it was celebrated at Earl's restaurant in North Vancouver. Her friend Bernie had invited a group of close friends to gather at the restaurant before 19.30. He would then take Silvia out for dinner. Silvia did not know that the group was waiting for her at the restaurant (hidden behind the menus).
