Em/Kez/Steve
These three vagabonds came over to visit and experience some American Kulcha. Beside hanging around Kitchener/Waterloo they also went to Las Angelas, New York, skiing at Chicopee, Niagara Falls, Toronto and the CN Tower and of course Whistler. Unfortunately the weather was not what we had hoped (the locals were happy) as very little snow fell. We had a big drop of snow soon after E/K/S arrived allowing them to ski at Chicopee then no snow untill Christmas.
Kez had a fall at Chicopee and got concussion and was rescued by the ski patrol and carried down the hill in the blood bucket. It was really great Christmas eve as about 10:00pm (I think-long time ago now) it started snowing just as we were going to bed. The pics show Em n Steve carrying home our live christmas tree which we selected from a cast of thousands. We all decorated it with chrissie bawbles and kept it alive throughout the christmas period.
Kitchener had a central square in front of the council chambers where they have free public ice skating. This was great fun eevn though we had an Australian sense of skating and no skating ability to show off. All the little tackers were better than us.
On Christmas eve, just before the snow fell we went outside and had some Caribou. This fortified wine was from Quebec (we bought a bottle way back in January when we went there) and it is the traditional drink for the fur hunters of yesteryear. We had it warmed up, as is the tradition, just like mulled wine served in the european snow fields excepe Caribou is a little rough (much like McWilliams royal reserve @ $2.50 a bottle). Another adventure with Em/Kez/Steve was to Niagara. The pic shows the hire car we got to fit all 6 of us.
