Hi everyone, hope the christmas celebrations went well. We had a great lunch at a nearby restaurant - drank a bit too much wine and ate a bit too much, but hey it's christmas. :-) The cool thing about the day was that it was snowing! Very fitting we thought.
Yesterday (boxing day) we went dogsledding. This was more strenuous than we thought it would be. You see, you have to give the dogs and the sled a push to start, and help them up the hills with your feet. The dogs were really cute - not the traditional husky types - but a mixture of hounds, cattle dogs and part-huskys. Our first team was a little on the slow side - only 6 dogs, so we swapped with another couple and got an 8 dog team. Power! hehe The scenery was really beautiful, we were mushing on an old logging trail, about 100 km out of Jasper. It was freezing cold - we thought we'd lost our toes at one stage. :-)
Tomorrow we are going skiing with an Aussie friend - Geoff has never done this before, and I haven't for about 7 years, so I'm sure we are going to be hopeless! We are looking forward to it though.
We have extended our stay in Jasper for few nights and have cancelled our Banff stay. We are planning on going to Edmonton on the 30th of December for a few nights. It has the biggest shopping mall in the northern hemisphere, apparently. We are then going onto Calgary for a bit. We hope to do Banff after that.
So that's it for now.
Love El and Geoff
