... the second half. It was great to see a live game of CFL which differs from the American NFL in that there are only 3 downs played instead of 4 and the field is slightly bigger. It makes a more even contest where the scores are closer. It had apparently been a great game in the first half and the Stampeder's had a slight lead which the Eskimo's managed to close and then move ahead. But with 30 seconds to go the Stampeder's managed to score a very dubious touch down, and in my ...

... too, feeling the cold pouring through the tent membrane. First I put my hat on. Later, I covered my head with my ski jacket. And I was concerned that I was finding it so cold. Nine below is not that cold - I have come to think of -5 as quite balmy. I was a little relieved to later discover that it was -14 that night at the nearest weather station. Cool, but not really cold by local standards, and convincing proof that I was not properly equipped for winter camping.<br ...

... Its a really cool city. The View from the EYE was amazing. It was a pretty clear night by British standards so we could see a long way. The funniest part of London for me was how early it shut down. Much like Edmonton the stores and that close at 8 or 9 during the week. Cairo on the other hand doesn't get moving till dark and closes at 3 am or later! p.s. were posting one more blog for Cairo with a couple videos from our last night there.

... their male counterparts to make their mark in these types of professions. Therefore, I deducted, they deserved my vote. I know this reasoning was silly and irresponsible, but at 18, so was I. Besides, it was only a municipal election...how much did it really matter, right? When I traveled abroad, I didn't even know who the prime minister of Canada was anymore. I had lost complete track of anything that was going on back home. I barely even had ...

Our last day of the trip with gorgeous mountain views. Today we are traveling from the British Columbia side of the Canadian Rockies to the capital of Alberta, Edmonton. We started at a good time, around 8:00, to drive through some of the best mountain views of the trip. Just 10 min. out, we stopped at a hiking trail that led to a waterfall - yes another one. It was early enough in the morning so no one else was on the trail so we let the dogs off the leash for a bit on this short trail. The ...

... kudos goes out to the gate attendant. She was awesome....she grabs some cleaning supplies and goes to town to clean it up...to get us out of there....it might actually been out of fear now that I think about it. The lil girl was feeling good now by the way. Mom felt terrible.....specially since they announced why over the PA.....not too diplomatic if you ask me.... Finally we start to board a bit after midnight. The crowd let out a cheer. So the plane is loaded...the ...

... 6 of us (me, Valli, Linzey, Jordan, Sinead, and Phalalo) to the airport on Thursday evening for a short flight down to Durban for the weekend. Got to the hostel around 10 pm, and called it a night. On Friday we took our hostel's transportation to the famous Indian market in Durban. The city has the highest population of Indian people outside of India, and the market was huge. I bought way too much stuff, but didn't actually spend a ton of money because things were ...

I had a busy weekend working on the new Traveler IQ Challenge for Facebook applications. It has been quite the adventure and is exploding in popularity. I am super happy that it has turned out so well. I love that it is not only fun but quite educational challenging even the most brilliant of geo freaks. I spent a lot of time looking up obscure places that would be hard for people to know ...

... started various VISA applications and have started to plan/save/and worry about future finances. My landlord informed me that he will be renovating the condo and selling it as soon as possible, so staying until the end of August is out of the question. I will be moving in about a month. It's a huge pain in the ass since ...

... wasn't bad cuz the row in front of us was empty so Bruce took it over and we both had our own space...quite a comfortable flight for it being Air Canada! We got in an hour earlier than expected so we drove home last night! There you have it - the Clarke Pub, Potato and Paella tour in three weeks! Sorry there were no pictures but Bruce will be putting his famous vacation movie together probably later today or tomorrow knowing him!!! Glad to be home!
