Canada pics







This is Amy, Luke and Lil at school in -30. You can last about 5 min outside fully wrapped up before you start to hurt. Thankfully it has warmed up to -10 today. The cars can be plugged in to a power point (provided at carparks) so that they will start again. The water park is in West Edmonton Mall. It is really big. It has a billion shops, a water park, a hotel, indoor theme park, pirate ship, ice skating rink, seal show, climbing wall bungy jump and more. It is an absolute cathedral to consumerism but the kids loved it and its warm inside. It was snowing outside when these pictures were taken.

Jenny, these are a bizarre set of photos. From here, it's hard to reconcile that you can be both wearing swimmers and rugged up against -30 degree temperatures. I think it's only slightly less crazy than snow fields in shopping centres in the deserts of Dubai. But fantastic that you are having such a different set of experiences. Hope it's all going really well. Would love to hear an account of the new school experience from Cal Amy Luke or Lil at some stage.

I think I might change my mind about shopping after seeing that water-slide!
I'm with Julia; that Canadia looks like a mixed up place.
