Canadian Gold a la Auz

Here are a few pics from what was for us this morning. The night previous we had met some fellow Canadians, nearly the first we have come across, which is odd because they had seen many as had other travellers that we've talked to along the way. Anyhow like most of us they were starved of Hockey and especially Olympic activity. We filled them in on the situation and that the game would be airing at 6:15am local time. They were pretty pumped that they were at a place with a TV and had no issue waking up at the early hour.
A nice group, a family from Ontario. Their daughter had been travelling and working as a nurse in Australia since July and was due to return to Canada this July. Her family members were down for a month to experience some of the east coast. She is a nurse and gets placements that come with accomadations, sounds like a great way to see this place!


Chris an Sarah looking on... Sarah looking nervous watching the uninterupted suposudly last period.



Camp kitchen which has kept us dry and entertained for the past two weeks.

Small TV which we huddled around with four other Canadians to cheer on the boys! Great to have a small crowd to cheer with...What a nail biter, but it made the victory all the sweeter!

  1. Sorry about the dodgy post, the pics were not agreeing with me as to where they should go!

  2. Great to hear from you. A nail bitter to be sure. Gran is here and watched the game with us. We hope that s.p. syndrome is over at U. Kev's soon. Gran hopes to go there too before flying back to AB. Joel and Reagan had a baby girl...Brooklyn. Pics are on A. Margaret's facebook. Gran took the pic postcard that you sent her...nice.
