At least one head is warm in Canmore

Last night we drove past Canmore's Big Head (a statue of a head emerging from the ground, to celebrate the meaning of Canmore's name in Gaelic, wished on us recently by the town fathers and mothers) - and this is what we saw:Some kind person had knitted a hat to help the poor guy survive the -40C weather. He's still wearing it today, which is just as well because it's still *&*% cold.

I didn't get very far with our chronicle of the China journey. It wasn't going to work - I really don't like writing "and then we went to... and we saw..." entries. Oh well. If you're interested, check out our Flickr pictures (link should be somewhere on the right).

Next week we're off to Ottawa to see the wonderful Dmitriy and his lovely parents, and then to South America to cruise around the south end of the continent, catching a glimpse of Antarctica if we're lucky. A couple more tick-marks for the travel log.

Keep warm, y'all. That's what we're trying to do.
