The cold snap last weekend brought the first good snowfall of the season. With daytime highs barely going above freezing and night temperatures much lower, this snow is here to stay.
Hairy yaks, with coats like that they won’t be feeling the cold.
We got back here yesterday to a chilly -2 Celsius temperature, a sure sign that winter has already arrived, with snow forecast for tomorrow.
Here’s a recent shot of the front entrance of the hotel. For anyone interested in what the finished hotel will be like you can check out the website at : http://www.tereljhotel.com/
My stay in Canada is almost over, next week I return to the frozen wilds of Mongolia. The weather since I came back early in September has been fantastic, with warm sunny days and no rain - quite unusual for this time of year.
The weather held out last Wednesday and a bunch of old Mexican cruising buddies - Mike and Sally (ex Jai-Yen), Bob and Mary (ex Capricorn IV) and I got together, untied the lines of Sundancer II and went out for a few hours of sailing in Boundary Bay. Conditions were benign to say the least, Mike’s GPS recorded a maximum speed of 2.2 knots for the day, but a good time was had by all.
This fire fighting equipment was outside one of carpet factory buildings that we visited in Beijing.
It’s been a very busy month for me as far as travel goes, and this last weekend was no exception. I went camping on the Oregon Coast with Grant, Brenda and little David.
We had gorgeous weather, a real bonus for the end of September and went for walks on the beautiful beaches at Sand Lake near Tillamook and Fort Stevens Park near Astoria. We were even brave enough to test the temperature of the Pacific Ocean, but only briefly.
David loved the sand, and we had lots of fun playing with him on the beach.
