... last night where everyone brought a plate of food and there was a big turkey supplied and the food was delicious! I am going to my friends house tonight to have thanks-giving with her Canadian family in a little farm a couple of hours away and I am very excited about experiencing a real thanks-giving dinner.<br><br> I think that it the general highlight of the most interesting events in the last few weeks. Will write again soon, bye for now!

... where mom and dad had pizza for dinner and I just charmed the crowd in the restaurant. After dinner mom and dad took me to my first blues concert which was in the park. I really liked it! Sure beats the cheezy electronic tunes that my baby swing plays! Well, that was the day, I am now rather over tired and am having a hard time winding down from my day. Tomorrow we hit the road again...we'll see how far we get!<br>

... and went to Tramonti's for a fancy dinner before heading to bed.<br><br>The morning was spent shopping before taking the Extremo van to La Cruz. I hitched a ride and got off while the others went to do the Extremo Canopy tour. I visited with Sofia, Fabricio, and Judith, read stories, watched a movie, and Sofia painted my nails. It was so wonderful to see them all again. I miss them so much! It was also fun to see how Chester and Jacky had grown. Oh I would love to go back and visit them ...

... it was difficult for me to get in touch with them.  So quickly to the pay phone I ran and put in 50 cents and called my friend Myrrhanda.  I got the message machine and left an less than detailed message of how I had arrived in her city, I was freezing cold and I had only slept for two hours on the train.  Deciding I didn't want to spend the day, one of two that I had, in the train station I agreed to walk with my new friend Beth to her hostel.  So we ...

... t match my current skin tone. My 2nd set of pictures are gross due to the fact that I didn't realize that I was going to be needing to take another set of pictures and I didn't even have my contacts on. One day I'll get a good passport photo...one day. I also just found out that instead of teaching grade 1, my services will instead be used to teach a Junior ...

... 09. So I am saving up, and cutting down drastically on what I love to do....travel. I'm am back, after about 7 months, working at Tim Horton's. I had gotten myself a job at a Cafe on Osborne St. here in Winnipeg, however, things just didn't work out for me there. I felt like I wasn't suppose to be there. So I am back at Tim Horton's, I missed my co-workers so much!! I am deffinitaly happier now. My home life is amazing. I couldn't ask for better ...

... that travel agent has me worried. I've sent emails to all the embassies I could find and am awaiting responses. I'm sure most will be okay but Bolivia and Brazil might be problematic. Bolivia apparently requires that your passport is valid for a year after your visit (mine isn't) and you must have your visa for Brazil before you arrive. I overlooked Bolivia but knew about Brazil. The problem is ...

... on a show and some salsa dancers also put on a bit of a show although it was very short. It was a really good day. Pity it wasn't hot enough to sunbathe or we'd have been set! Saturday night was cool - Erica and her partner took us to a casino! There was an aquarium in there with lots of pretty fish and there was a talking skeleton! Whatever we said he would make a joke about. It was very funny but we are intrigued as to where the voice ...

... is until the next journey where ever that may take us.  We hope you've enjoyed our blog as much as we've enjoyed sharing it with you.  Keep in touch!  Rea and Tim Favorites: Country?  New Zealand and the surprising one: Laos Cities? (In no particular order.)   Sydney (the fav with so much to do and generally for just being nice), Beijing (for culture), Queenstown (it's a mini Banff), London (the museums and iconic places ...

... spruce and fir trees behind for birch groves and ice-fringed lakes, then open farmlands of crops and cattle of Alberta province. This was regularly punctuated with signs of extensive timber and wrecked car industries. The dining car - next door to mine (a definite advantage at 80km/hr) - served adequate meals, although not up to Rocky Mountaineer standard. Thai chicken salad and maple syrup icecream for lunch. "The Devil Wears Prada ...
