The Campervan - a tribute
We finally sold our campervan the other day. We had a lot of fun over the summer traveling right across the continent in our little home. Here is a tribute in pictorial form.

Getting Chilly
The temperature has been dropping here in Ottawa over the past few weeks. Although today was a lovely day of around 12 degrees, it has often hovered around the freezing mark. It snowed here for the first time a few days ago, although as soon as it hit the ground it turned to water. An exciting precursor of things to come though. Walking to the market yesterday was a very cold experience, but Dave had a lot of fun breaking up the icy shields formed on top of puddles overnight.
Last night we went out to the ice hockey to watch the local team - The Senators. It was a great game, very fast and almost excessively violent. A fistfight is an obligatory part of every match, and it is actually part of the game to try and crunch your opponent up against the plexi-glass walls of the rink. It was a lot of fun, although they ended up losing 3-2.
The noise of the skates slicing along the ice is great, as well as the sound of the puck being belted around. They have 6 players on the field at once including the goalie, but each team consists of about 25 guys. So they are constantly swapping on and off! Our friend Sandra got us the tickets to this match - so thanks Sandra!

Halloween - A Fun Night Out
Our group before heading out.

Not sure what this guy is meant to be - half Mickey Mouse, half cow?
