Back In Canada

We made it home safe and sound.  Easy jet from Valencia to London then Westjet from London to Calgary the next day.  

The flight on Westjet was very nice. (I don't say this about airlines often). The fairly new Boeing Dreamliner was very comfortable, excellent leg room, a good (free) entertainment system, two very nice meals and complimentary wine throughout the flight. Blankets and pillows were also provided.

We arrived in Calgary about 5pm and caught the shuttle to our hotel. We left the car in the hotel parking lot while we were away. The car started and it was free of snow.... a bonus!

We lucked in with the weather on the drive home. The roads wee clear of snow and the winds were light. Two days before, the wind gust were measured at over 100kph on highway 22 and the day after we arrived home in Fernie it snowed.

We are not adapting well to the colder weather.  The snow passed but the sunny skies brought cold temperatures... -17C yesterday morning and not much warmer today. 

It is 3pm now and the temperature is only a little below freezing. The sun feels warm so we are heading out for walk.

We are planing to stay in Fernie for the next 2 months, with short trips to Kaslo.  I am keeping busy with some projects. The first project is to do some modifications to the garage and then I want to replace the front sub-frame on the old VW bus. 

Below are a couple photos of Fernie and Kaslo.  On the left is a shot of " Three Sisters Mountain" taken from our back deck. The one on the right is an aerial shot of Kaslo. borrowed from Facebook.

That's all the news for now...
