Con and I are in Canada for a few months enjoying our family while Big Sky is tucked comfortably in the Monastir Marina in Tunisia, Africa. Snow has covered Canada from west to east and to the north for the first time since 1971.

We're renting a house on the north west side of Calgary, just a few blocks from Courtney and Mike and closer to Lindsey. Today, we purchased a two-month membership at the local gym.

Pictured above three of our four daughters with their guys, and baby Dex who is sleeping on the pillow out of sight. See the PHOTO album.

See Panorama for pictures of our visits to Carrot River in northern Canada in the winter, to Rome, Pompeii, the Temple of Diane, and the Monastir Ribat.

See "Routes" for our new Goggle Maps.

Tunisia is our 19th country since starting our adventure 19 months ago when we tossed off the ropes in Turku, Finland.
