Industrial patterns in Boston




East Coast friends

We were able to visit a number of friends while in New York and Boston and introduce them to Claude, which was a special treat.

Boston in the snow

Boston was beautiful, covered in a big blanket of snow.


We even saw a wolf (or is it a coyote?) in our friend's back garden.

Interesting art at the Met


This piece caught my eye...where medicine meets art

Walking in a winter wonderland...

Superbowl XLV

Superbowl XLV was on on Sunday night - Pittburgh Steelers against the Greenbay Packers. Of course we had to eat the local speciality and watch the game. We even learned some of the rules! (but give me rugby any day - this is a weird game!!)Green bay won 31 to 25 (we cheered for them mainly because one of our friends in Hanoi is a big fan!) so we ended up happy.

Montreal

Next stop Montreal - to visit some TB people and experience a real winter. Minus 11 degrees and snowing one day.We walked around the city, including a quick visit to MacGill University campus.

Vancouver

We are off on a big holiday to Canada and the USA, partly for Greg's work and partly for fun to visit people and places. Our first stop was Vancouver on the west coast of Canada to visit friends there.We went up Grouse Mountain for some fun in the snow and a fantastic view of the city below. No skiing this time but we did go on a sleigh ride!

Chatting with mum

I like to watch people's mouths move and I'm practising really hard to get all those shapes right. Talking is so much fun.
