We've had some entertaining moments since arriving in Canada, with the big one being Becks bringing the Thury Harcourt Club key with her from France to Canada! The boys also showed their excellent sense of smell for the shopping mall by taking us in completely the wrong direction. Apparently the GPS told them to go that way! Also we've had some fun times navigating around the underground University tunnels. The tunnels connect all the buildings together because it gets so cold here in winter you don't want to go outside. Try -50 degrees Celsius for a cold winters day!
Our boats arrived Friday morning, a little later than planned but they arrived nonetheless and all intact. Firstly we must say that there has definitely been a change in the weather! We have finally been able to train in the sun, and boy is it nice! We have been training at the practice pitches at Rundle Park. Today we had some excellent training games against the Germans and the USA. Tonight we hope to head to a real live baseball game! Very exciting!

The hire vehicles have been a point of entertainment so far. The GMC truck we have is massive and sooo grunty. Both Gibbo and Tam just love putting their foot down! Looking at all the vehicles on the road just proves that Canadian's/American's love everything on a grand scale. All the cars and trucks are huge. We even saw a stretch ute today! Crazy!
Tam has been doing a great job of feeding us here in Canada, with some lasagna and roast chicken going down a treat the last couple of nights. Ali got special privileges at last nights dinner and was allowed to use the tea towel for a bib to avoid dirtying her pristine white NZ t-shirt!

We have more training planned for tomorrow and the next few days. Everyone appears to be getting very excited now with the games getting so close. Apparently our pool play may be down a number with Iran possibly not being able to get visas into Canada. So it'll be interesting to see what happens there.
Well that’s all from us for now, more when it happens.

Hey Freya, and the rest of the team.
Hope things are going well for you guys. I'm just posting a comment to let you know how Maninos diet is going. We've got him down to 2 small scoops a day. He hasnt seemed to loose any weight yet, we've been weighing him regularly since you left and hes hovering around the 6.8 6.9kg mark.
Elins dad and manino are best mates now, I think we're going to have to be careful to keep manino out of his luggage! Maninos either always sitting in his lap or chasing and savaging a piece of string that Soren's pulling round.
Anyway...hope alls well, and ya'all are having fun. Good luck.
Luke, Elin, Megan, the Rothzens and Manino (meow).
