Capri Hotel Trade And Conv Ctr Red Deer

... a while now, so I was really looking forward to actually going. The atmosphere was great, it's really brought the community together, and hopefully I'll be able to go stay and work there for a couple of weeks next April. I got to hear how Chris set it all up, how it works etc etc. All very interesting!<br><br>The other highlight was having a full on snowball fight on Thursday night! The temperature was about 3 to minus 3, and after dinner we looked out ...

Ruth and Gorden's 50th was a great time with family and friends. <br>Boundry Ranch is beautiful.<br><br> We left Boundry Ranch in the PM and stopped in Calgary and had a short put sweet visit with Albert and Mieke. Then drove to Red Deer to overnight with Don and Lois

... Australia and ended up settling around Batchelor) and got to meet lots of family we had never met before and learning more about the family history. One of the highlights was the centenary of the Sargent School (now a community hall). David's great grandparents had donated some of their land for a school in the district, which had then operated as a school until about 1950's or 1960's before being used as a community ...

In our quest for the library, we stumbled upon the most beautiful city gardens! What a find in a roundabout way! Since Senica has a broken toe we cannot walk all over the town. I love how we found the highlights just a few blocks from the bus station!

... but the temperature this morning was -36C with a strong breeze that dropped the wind chill to a crushing -47C; brrrrr. The snow fell most of the night and I had to shovel through drifts as deep as 40 cm. Still the weather didn't stop me from walking into town for my dental appointment this morning

Home again. -13C and sunny. The ground is covered in snow and the lake is frozen solid. This may not seem pleasant to my southern friends but those of us who live here call this a gorgeous winter's day ...

Photos and video of Pete and I snowboarding in Lake Louise in the last week. Last weekend before Pete arrived we had 45 cm of fresh snow fall over 3 days - so when Pete arrived we hiked a walk called the Elevator Shaft to get rides in the Powder. Obviously from the footage I am not that good yet - practice makes perfect. Season ends this weekend so will ot be able to practice again this season - maybe next season.

... load of money - but no they do not. So I will probably stay in the Food & Bev. industry as they earn a packet during summer - save up and then take a couple of months off travelling before coming home. It is weird that I am now talking about the next section of my trip being home. Well lets wait and see shall we - you just never know. Luv you all Ellen

... it turned to a huge, HUGE jump! It was a lot like the ski-jumping style jumps, in that, when you left the jump, the ground left you...... falling away, to a super steep transition. After the huge jump, were a few choice stunts. Either you could do a rainbow rail, or a box jump. After that, you could get over fast, and do a standard rail. The last couple hits were ...
