New Orleans

Walking around New Orleans. The weather is not cooperating, which kinda makes it all the better.



Stopped in for lunch at Coop's Place.

Gumbo, with a load of okra, and a taster plate.

New Orleans is absolutely fantastic. I forgot how much I like it.

White sand missle range

Got here by mistake, looking for the white sand national monument, not the white sand missle range.

And we are now live and on the road...

So when we drive off the road, you'll know where to send the cops.

Flagstaff

Storm Ranks #3 in the Record Books for Flagstaff

While at the HardRock blackjack tables around 2:30 am last night, a lovely couple of dudes informed us that the Grand Canyon area, and Flagstaff specifically (where we are planning to stay the night before visiting el Canyon), was dumped with over 50" of snow.

After giving eachother a few awkward, worried looks, Adam and I finished our bourbons and decided to cash out. Back in the room we looked up the number to call the Canyon Village after we woke up to hear about the road conditions...

\so, it sounds like the roads look ok... we're gonna continue on!

I'm off.

The last few days have been a bit of whirlwind, and I haven't put up what I wanted to.. it'll have to wait for after me thinks.

For now, I'll update the blog on the road, and maybe even try to get some gps tracking up here... Of course, that all depends if my unlocked phone is actually unlocked.

The Granite Club

Can I just say, the Granite Club is unbelievable.

• Two twenty-five metre, six-lane pools, a 'tadpool' and an activity pool for the little swimmers
• Summer tennis - twelve clay courts
• Winter tennis - eight bubbled courts
• Indoor skating rink
• Five single squash courts and two double
• Four badminton courts
• Winter golf dome
• World-class curling facility

Umm.. one of those swimming pools has a RETRACTABLE ROOF.

Saturday morning Derek invited me to play squash with him up there, and he gave me a tour of the place... Cameras felt frowned upon, but I did manage to take these with my phone.





No squash pics unfortunately. Derek used to be an ace and ranked on the high school circuit. We played 4 matches I managed to win the last one! I was/am very excited about that!

Oh, and we had lunch afterward, as we watched Josée Chouinard coach some young figure skaters.

I guess the food was mediocre. A man has to take a stand somewhere; back to the Y.
