Home again, home again...

Well, I survived two very long drives from Nanaimo to Edmonton and back again. Thank goodness for my good friend NW and my sis, who shared the driving with me. It is a beautiful drive for the most part, all 1200+ km!!

I had a great time, got to visit with good friends, went out for dinner, breakfast and lunch. Went for a nice long walk and endured the cold biting wind and snow! And I got early b'day stuff too :)

The photos that follow are courtesy of NW, who brought along her digital camera. I still haven't replaced mine, which was stolen in while I was in Dar es Salaam. Also included are a few pics from my camera phone but the quality is obviously not as good.

He survived... should have posted a pic of him burrowing in the back seat under whatever he could find.
