What a incredible country/wilderness. We had hi tea at Lake Louise in the afternoon, while spending the morning hiking in Banff. <br /><br />I intend to visit again this Oct (after the summer season). <br /><br />Next summer we will probably meet in Vancouver (she's western Canadian).<br /><br />And the cabin we had in Canmore allowed for tons of spanking (after season, our closet neighbors were three units down).Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100139842165084991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-40469158913499942002013-03-08T07:51:04.642-05:002013-03-08T07:51:04.642-05:00Penelope - I'm fine.

I had a Canuck housemate one year at uni - she was a hoot and just really charming. She had me pronounce words at her every so often... couldn't believe that not everyone said things in a Canadian way. The lack of ice hockey on TV was also a thing of disbelief to her.<br /><br />Canadians like gravy on chips? You learn something every day. They like it here (the north of England) too, not so much in the south. My very-northern partner bemoans that fact every time we venture to more civilised climes.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565114729355841150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-24042131456223298102013-03-07T13:44:54.250-05:002013-03-07T13:44:54.250-05:00Bas - I don't listen to that kind of music, so...Bas - I don't listen to that kind of music, so I can't explain the Bieber phenomenon, but he's very popular with pre-teen girls.<br /><br />Red - Great minds think alike, eh?<br /><br />Ronnie - Really, no gravy?

Why didn't they tell me this 4 legged apparatus (without decent break) could bring me to Timmie's.<br />That would have softened up the experience.<br /><br />So you are quilty of this Bieber phenomenon. Could you please tell me what it is? Somehow I think it is a singer, but as far as I know I have never heard a song from him.<br />Still regularly, in our papers there's mention of a relationship that somebody has or doesn't have anymore with this Bieber. <br />I don't understand.<br /><br />Don't apologise about the Americans.
