... to set me on the right path to load for Edmonton. I was able to spend half an hour on the phone with Lee before my flight was called. The trip to Edmonton was uneventful. In the airport I was told I would have to gather my three checked bags and transfer them to Canadian North. I was already hauling around a backpack loaded with a 10 lb bag of onions and two large bags of red peppers (my new principal told me he ...

... coming for me. I don't even have a set of keys for the car! I'm completely helpless!



Keith and Bruce bring back stewing beef and some vegetables and we cook a stew in the slowly setting sunlight. I didn't see the package the meat came in, so I'm imagining the meat is from his former houseguests, the ones that had to leave so fast last time. Oh god, I'm probably going to eat people, and then other people are going to eat me! Holy god, let's get ...

... to sneakily steal a spot in the shade. As soon as a couple of people left, we grabbed their dirty table and lounged in the corner for what seemed like hours, until our waitress came. I ordered some musk ox which tasted like roast beef, but with a little bit of a stronger taste. Yum. After a really long time, waiting for our bill, etc. BTW I'm not complaining, it was lovely to finally find some shade, at last, SOMEWHERE! It figures we had to ...

... all well and that you have the "best-ests of Xmases". As part of this blog, you'll see some pictues I took here in town about a week ago. My friend Ozgur came by a couple of nights ago and we culled a few of the better shots and put them together. I had no real plans to send them out, but what the heck...I think you might like 'em. And thanks for the editing ...

... and passed through the Ogilvie Mountains. The more I drove, the more I became aware of the rising temperature of my face. This warmth was generated by the adrenelin boost which this exciting drive injected into my circulatory system. My face seemed aglow, and I kept telling myself - relax, relax, and relax. For the most part, there was little traffic coming from the opposite direction and there was certainly no one passing me despite the fact that I was ...

... lost in the forest which he brushed off with comments about the sun, the moon and the stars and a few roads running north and south as reference points. No, he had never gotten lost in the woods. He described his attachment to his dog team and the role of the alpha male lead dog whose role is occasionally challenged by some of the younger dogs in the team. Doug's forearms bore evidence of attempts to separate such encounters among the ...

Hey Everyone! After over a year of researching, planning, waiting and more waiting, Mary and I are almost ready to leave for South Africa where we will be volunteering in a primary school 30 mins. north of Capetown. I set up this dorky blog so that anyone who's interested can follow our adventures and keep tabs on us. I hope it helps to keep you all entertained as I know how boring life can be without me around! Enjoy, Smelly

... was idyllic. The water lapped at the shore and the sand was pink. We ate a marvellous campfire kebabs and enjoyed some spirits while the sun set and the moon rose.

Sunday morning was amazing as well, and ...
