Got my new camera, Pentax k200d. WOOOOOOOOO!
So Rose, when you read this please send me another picture since the ones I took of you are on the lost camera. Another one with that figure hugging wooly jumper would be perfect - I just loved the pattern.
Went down to McNally's High Run Sports bar, home of Edmonton CSC. Failed miserably in my attempts to get in touch with the club's president - Steve Kerr so will try again on my return journey across Canada.
The bar has 14 pool tables and 2 full size snooker tables, and a really well poured pint of Guinness!
98 avenue where the pub is must be the biggest avenue in the world. It starts not far from my hotel on Stony Plain road and takes half an hour to get to by taxi (and thirty dollars).
Meanwhile a big hello to my resident Taxi drivers - Bashir, Sam and last but not least Raj.
Raj in particular had a strange fixation with Brussels. I didn't explore it too uch as I felt there may have been a dark secret involved. But what an entertaining bloke.
Also I mustn't forget Daphne (who didn't like her surname - so I won't tell anyone that it is 'Jerome') and her boyfriend Sean. They are from the Northern Territories and came south to live in Edmonton to try out living in stone buildings instead of Igloos.
Daphne (I taught her how to spell her name correctly- she always thought it was DAFFNY) has a smile that can kill the devil at 200 yards and Sean has a beard. So you should be able to tell who is who in this picture.
Anyway off to get the Greyhound now. Calgary next stop!
Hail Hail
Matt
