Anyways, here is the new year update. I&#8217;ve been in Canada, starting in the Vancouver area of BC, and then doing the Alberta tour, as I visited friends and family.\u00a0 2800km driving gave me new appreciation of the distances involved in this country!<\/p>\n<p>I just about finished with my Canadian visit, but will embark on a different sort of adventure tomorrow as I leave for San Francisco with my daughter and we do our Mexico adventure. We begin with a cruise from San Francisco along the Mexican Rivera: the west coast of Mexico. I hope to be able to provide some updates and photos as we go. Although I have not been to Mexico before, I have cruised with my daughter, and we find that a great way to check out places before committing for a more extended visit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_967\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-002.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-967\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-967\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-002.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas eve in Barrhead Alberta. \" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-002.jpg 3264w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-002-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-002-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christmas eve in Barrhead Alberta.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_968\" style=\"width: 509px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-003.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-968\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-968\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-003.jpg\" alt=\"january winter hike on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia\" width=\"499\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-003.jpg 2448w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-003-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-003-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-968\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">january winter hike on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_970\" style=\"width: 341px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-14.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-970\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-970\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-14.jpg\" alt=\"wildlife bridge over highway, Banff National Park\" width=\"331\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-14.jpg 4608w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-14-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-14-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-970\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">wildlife bridge over highway, Banff National Park<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_972\" style=\"width: 4607px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Castle-Mountain.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-972\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-972\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Castle-Mountain.jpg\" alt=\"Cstle Mountain, Banff National Park\" width=\"4597\" height=\"3176\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Castle-Mountain.jpg 4597w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Castle-Mountain-300x207.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Castle-Mountain-1024x707.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4597px) 100vw, 4597px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-972\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Castle Mountain, Banff National Park<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_969\" style=\"width: 351px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-004.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-969\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-969\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-004.jpg\" alt=\"Keats Islans and Howe Sound near Gibsons, BC\" width=\"341\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-004.jpg 3264w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-004-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Canada-winter-004-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keats Island and Howe Sound near Gibsons, BC<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry folks, I know it has been over a month since I last posted.
