... three or four years old and the little boy was maybe two or three years old. Well, this little boy was the cutest thing ever! He was stocky with a round face and big eyes and just solid. He was walking around and pulling his own little suitcase and pulling the handle up and down and he was just adorable. Just before the family left to board their plane the little girl was playing with him and out of nowhere started hugging and kissing the little boy ...

... area of the mall. After lunch we browsed the shops. Jim was able to get his glasses repaired with new nose pads. We watched the ice skaters on the NHL sized ice rink. Then we walked around the amusement park to see the roller coasters, space drop (about a 300 foot vertical rise and drop), arcades, and other rides. The deep sea adventure had motorized tubes where you could attack ...

... the former biggest mall in the world had to tell.  Just out of the breakfast place I was reminded of how early I had arrived at the mall as the zamboni was still cleaning the ice at the ice palace and stores were just waking up.  There was ************e there which was nice because it let me take photos without worrying about people's reaction.  This earlier period was when I took in the sea lion show which was being shown to a class of kindergarten children who loved to see the ...

... It became shockingly obvious when she continued to not just fall off high places, but actually leapt with all her gumption. After splatting on the marble floor with a dull thud, she will jump up without missing a beat and dart off to find another such adrenaline rush. I began to wonder what stuff this creature is made of. I hope she learns how to retract her claws soon because I am not immune to pain as she seems ...

After breakfast with Don and Paddy I'm back on the road. I backtrack to the west to reenter Banff National Park where Steve and I exited the other day. I then continue my trip north on the Icefields Parkway. It's cold, which I expected, but it's also totally overcast and intermittently showering. (At least it isn't snowing this time.) The clouds obscure the mountains so I don't take any pictures. Even though it's late in the season, cold and ...

I have to say, its really strange being home after such a long time. I really like being away, seeing places, doing nothing everyday but really doing so much. Going back to work will be hard, and like the last time, waiting for the next trip will be hard. I mean, I think travelling for me anyway is essential. I have to see countries, visit continents, see how other people live. It makes you appreciate your own life, which I do a lot, but even ...

... kept their doors locked. They tried to imply that we should have took him to the hospital but we just threw back the facts that we had told him this and had offered to pay for a taxi and where the **** were they. The outcome was the statements were signed and the police started to leave, at this juncture Dyan noted that the kid wasn't in the lobby anymore, nor was he in the taxi with his friends outside. I went to look and saw the taxi set off and go across ...

... myself and most people would just brush it off. But for me, I have to hold very high standards with these little guys. I only want what is best for them and I realize that in this moment, I am not. It hurts but I know that they will understand when they are older. I will be back when I can be sure I will not jeopardize their mental health. They are so special to me and I truly love them. I suppose that is the biggest thing. With them, I experience the closest thing to ...

The early morning yoga class was pretty busy as I guess everyone wanted to enjoy the sunny weekend outside. After making a quick pit stop at the Strathcona Farmers Market, I readied myself to go fishing. I knew it would be a quieter day as I was getting to midday by the time my hooks hit the water. I had a nice chat with Lee, a Vietnamese man who had emigrated here 20 years ago. He told me a few of his fish stories and about how much ...

... actually quite large by Manitoba standards, 9th biggest city) mining town sits on the border of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Ariving from the southwest I was assaulted by the sight of the largest smokestack that I have ever seen. It must have been 30 ft across and at least 150 ft tall; spewing what I hoped was just steam over the snow covered town. The dump trucks were rolling into the refining facility heavily burdened with their ...
