We're in ONTARIO now...

Let's start by thanking EVERYONE who came out from work on Friday and all my great pals who came out Saturday for the BBQ and/or the show. It was really nice to see everyone, and there was some faces that I havent seen in a while...the surprise really put a smile on my face. One more shout out to some of my other special friends who did not come out on Saturday, but made an effort to hang out earlier on in the week. (You know who you are).\

I've gotta say, Northern Ontario is a lot more beautiful than I expected. It is so much different than Alberta's foothills...While they are both beautiful in there own respects, I already feel like a tourist even though I'm still in my own country. I have found that no matter where you go in Canada though, road construction always makes you want to simply lose it. I'm still very realxed thoguh..easy to stay relaxed when you retire (for some months) at 27 yrs old....

Katie's parent's place is a unique little Double Cabin set out in the sticks about 40 min past Sudbury. It is right on the lakeside of Lake Panache and it is quite the dockside paradise...Katie always said it was really nice, but i never would have thought it could be quite so peaceful and pleasant. With lakeside Sauna, great fishing, and calm waters around somewhere at most hours, it is a real fisherman/sailor/boater's dream out here. Maybe I can convince Mom and Dad to bring the ol Tiga out here sometime...haha(i think it would actually be a little far).

Anyway, thats all for now..just want everyone to know we got here safely and Katie's parents have been spoiling us like you'd think that they havent seen her in 7 months or something. The food and accomadation is more than I could have asked for, and I am sure that the accomodation and food will probably go downhill once we arrive overseas...(the 'island paradise factor' makes up for that though.)

We love everyone so much and you are in our thoughts always. Thanks for reading and stay posted for more once we arrive in Wonderful Indonesia...
