So we have been at FOY now for nearly a week. The weather has been very acceptable but sometimes very windy. Our friends George & Maureen from BC that have been visiting with us here left this morning to continue on with their travel adventure. Being newbies and we understand they just want to keep on the move. We have had a very enjoyable week visiting with the 'English' that were still here when we arrived but they left yesterday. Susan & I are wondering if it was us or ???. George and Maureen have spent time using the pools and hot tubs much to their enjoyment, and so they should. On Sunday night all four of us went down and played shuffleboard in the games room. Susan & Maureen vs George & Les. After lots of fun and ribbing each other I must have to say, well the girls won. Yesterday we all went down and played Boccie Ball. Now that was a lot of fun. Once again boy's vs girls. The first game went pretty quick with the boy's winning by a long shot. The second game was quite a bit different and the girls really came on strong. But to no avail, the boy's won both games.
As the English were leaving on Monday morning Joyce our friend who lives here at FOY for the winter put on a splendid supper on Saturday night. We had roast turkey with all the trimmings and wonderful vegetables. Lots of food and lots to drink. A good time was had by all.
We are going to spend the next couple of days doing jobs around the rig and re-organising stuff ready for our return to BC. We should be back in BC around the 15th - 20th of March as we have a wedding to attend.We wont say who it is but why would anyone get married in March so we have to cut our winter jaunt short, and so that everyone can freeze their butts off. Don't worry Ni---- & M--- we will be there. Only pulling your leg. That's about it from here for now. We hope you all enjoy this new way of reading about our travels. I must admit I am enjoying doing it this way.
Stay safe and keep warm. We love you all. Susan & Les
