I wanted to let everyone know that I survived the journey to Arizona, with only a few bumps and bruises. The weather here is amazing... just the right temperature... about 25 degrees celsius, but it's dry. I haven't been able to figure out this calling card thingy, so if anyone was expecting to get a call... well, I guess you'll have to wait. I'll post more details later tonight, but I need to get groceries now.
But I should mention that Customs & Immigration people are meanies.

Carolyn took this photo while strolling the grounds of a monastery in China. You can see the gigantic Buddha on the horizon.

A couple weeks ago, Ryan and I visited this goat, among other animals, in Waterloo Park.
From snowballs to the sand dunes
On my last weekend before descending into the unforgiving desert, I will be climbing to the highest and deadliest peaks in Ontario, only to propel myself down to the bottom (presumably on my butt for much of the ride). I did buy some new equipment on Thursday, so at least I will look good doing it :) Boots, bindings, helmet, and gloves, and most of them were half-off! La pièce de résistance is probably the gloves... they have a temperature gauge on them, so I can see just how silly I am being!
Then, early Monday morning, I will fly out to Phoenix, AZ, for 4 weeks of torturous 25-30 degree weather (that's celsius people). I'm planning on doing some heavy-duty travelling on each of the weekends I am there, so I hope to have lots of pictures to post. I'll try to keep everyone on the up-and-up.
