This week, at the Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s annual Geographica Dinner, we celebrated our expedition, which located Sir Ernest Shackleton’s last ship, Quest.
I love learning about extraordinary people! They inspire and move the bar about what is possible! Even more amazing when those people are great leaders! I never even know anything about Shackleton until I read about him in “Into the Planet”! Beautiful writing about him!
Oh Robert! I was watching the weather last night and saw that cold front and snow coming on the north east side of the US and I am sure that will hit you too, so I thought about you! I traveled to Toronto in the winter when my mother in law was still alive and I remember how miserably cold I was all the time! No matter how many layers I put on! While I was born and raised in the mountains of Transylvania, I got whimpified in California for the last 25 years! I have a guest room in San Francisco Bay Area, if you need to thaw out for a bit!
Thanks for the offer, Luca. I lived most of my adult life in warm climes - Spain, California, Puerto Rico, Guam, etc...and settled in Florida. I met a Canadian girl there and she kidnapped me to frosty Ontario! We have an agreement - each January, when I am getting the SADS and depressed, we spend a month in warm weather. We are heading to the Algarve in Portugal this year...I am counting the days. Cheers and warm regards!!
That’s sounds very fair to me! My wife is from Ontario too and I told her that BC is the only province I will consider should we need to move although as it is looking right now, pretty soon I will be ready to move in with the polar bears in Nunavut! I’ll build my own igloo! Hang in there until Portugal!
