Back from the Frozen North

I recently spent a month visiting eastern Canada - Ontario and Quebec. It was my first time in the snow and it was fabulous. I hired a 4WD and went skiing, dog sledding and snowmobiling - it was great fun. Canadians are really nice - it makes you want to go back there again (& they are really polite too). They've also got some spectacular scenery. Quebec is definitely a great place for snow mobiling - thousands of kilometres of trails. Canadians seem to me to be more similar to Australians than Americans. Dog sledding is a hoot too. The dogs were adorable, just like in that moveie "8 Below". The temperatures ranged from 0 degrees celsius to about -24 degrees celsius. Thanks to my trusty warm weather gear I was toasty.
