Goodbye January, hello Antarctic friends

Welcomed our new friends whom we met on our Hurtigruten Antarctic trip (December 1-19 last year). We'd been seated with John and Christine for our dinners on board MV Fram, and lo & behold, turned out they live in Arnprior.

Small world!

So we've decided to stay in touch -- and today was our first day with them here at Spiritwood. Started out with a twilight snowshoe up Magic Road to our back forest trails. Introduced them to our ancient soul, the lone pine of the forest which must be 200 years old or so.

Back home, delicious roast Pontiac chicken, Spiritwood blue potatoes, then watched ours and their pictures of Antarctica. Nice!

Tomorrow? A 'shoe up the escarpment!
