Warm 25 Degree Morning

So today we woke up and it's 25 degrees. Brrrrrr. Never fear, we are prepared. Speaking of prepared, I have to take a moment and give my hubby big, big kudos. With our "fly by the seat of our pants" theme, Russ, being awesome guy he is built us a survival kit. It has a first aid kit, MREs, life straw for water purification, space blanket, fire starters, fishing stuff, multi tool, and snares. He thought of everything. So proud of him.

We have met so many interesting people and last night was no different. We were waiting in the hotel grill for our laundry to finish the wash and dryer cycles and got to talking to the bartender. She is from Australia and obtained a visa to come work in Canada. She explained that you get to work here for a year. They orovide lodging and discounts on food and other items. If you want to work a second year you have to commit to work on a farm. She said that one of the coolest gigs that one of her friends landed was at a resort in a rain forrest that could only be reached NY helicopter. He was a chef. He worked in the kitchen and on their farm. She said the gig she would never take was working on a banana farm because snakes and spiders live in the trees.  What an awesome conversation!!

Today is going to be a hiking, hot springs day! Enjoy!
