Home at the Chalet

This is where Karl is spending his time in Quebec. A beautiful chalet by a lake in the Laurentians! I am really looking forward to being able to spend some time there. As of today, there is a bit of snow (5cm) but I am sure in the next few weeks there will be additional snow and I will get to ski in Quebec!

Visit to Goldstream Park

Today I went with our students to this is an amazing part of Victoria...Goldstream Provincial Park. This is where the Pacific Salmon come for their annual spawning. It is quite the site to see the lifecycle of the salmon and the view and park are breathtaking. I am including some photos from our adventures and the beautiful nature...
Hope you enjoy :)

The Red Bullet Made it!

Well, it has been 2 weeks since Karl left Victoria...and the RED BULLET has made it! The 1988 Nisan Micra has crossed Canada in one piece and is still working! Now in St. Agathe, Quebec, Karl is enjoying the peace of nature as he spends his time at the chalet. We will try to get some photos for you soon.

I am wrapping things up here in Victoria and using an awesome website called usedvictoria.com (check it out in our sidebar). It has been a great help in selling the "stuff" that I have here! It is incredible how much lighter I also feel with being able to go through my wardrobe and getting rid of alot of old clothes as well as just "letting go" of some items in the house that I was holding onto for emotional reasons. I found that by letting things go, I still had the memories, but I actually phyiscally felt lighter not holding onto a physical object...just an observation :)

Three more weeks of living in Victoria...after 3 years here and I looking forward to having a white (hopefully) holiday in Quebec and Ontario and then heading south in the new year!

We will be in touch!

Happy Halloween!

I am a bit late with this one but Happy Halloween! We had a great costume party at FCLI yesterday and the students had a great time!! Some of the students have never experienced Halloween so can you imagine what they would be thinking watching all these people dress up in strange and crazy costumes?? What a culture shock! Hope everyone had a great day!
