Time to Turn Around =(

Well out of this whole tour so far, there's one thing I've learned for sure: the west coast is the BEST coast :)
Snow covered mountains, glacier rivers, ocean views, canyons, small town souvenir shops, and wild ten minute long blizzards are all so exciting to me!
So far, my favorite town we've visited all tour has been Jasper, Alberta. I love the small town feel and being surrounded by mountains that are covered with snow! It just makes me want to go skiing so badly! We had the weekend off there and we got to go shopping down town and i can honestly say that I've probably been in every single souvenir shop in that whole entire town! I mean, somebody's gotta support the local businesses during the winter time! We had dinner at a cute little pub downtown where everyone knew everyone and they welcomed us back each night with a smile. I think I can safely say that I would be totally fine living there someday! One day while walking down the street, we literally watched as the town became enveloped in a snow storm from all directions. We saw this white whispy cloud coming towards us and finally realized it was snow ... two seconds before the snow flakes landed on our heads! It was crazy! And within ten minutes, it had stopped and the sun had come back out again! It's amazing how different the weather can be sometimes.
Now, we're on our way back to Ontario and we've made it to Saskatchewan now. It's cool because we're getting to stay with some of the same families who billeted us on our way here and it's awesome to see them again ! It's kind of depressing to go from gorgeous mountains to flat open land ... but that's the beauty of Canada!
I don't know what the weather is like where you're at while reading this, but I've heard that back home in SSM it's been about 15 degrees and sunny .... Wellllll it's been sunny here ... and about -12 degrees and snowy! There's more and more snow the further east we go! It's not like a usual Ontario first snow fall where it snows just enough to cover the ground and then melts by the afternoon.... right now there's probably about three inches of snow on the ground ... and that's just been sitting here since the first snow fall on Friday night! Personally, I have no problem with the weather since i'm a northern girl and love to ski, however I seem to be one of the very few on the team who is the least bit excited about the white fluffy snow outside and the chance to wear a hat and mits! I hope the rest realize we live in Canada, not Mexico :P
All is good here! a few minor bus issues, but nothing that coudn't be solved by a few jumper cables and some intelligent young men!
Getting excited to be back home in a few weeks!
