Oh Canada!

A few things this nice and frigid morning:

It was quite cold last night. So cold, in fact, that when I went out to my car this morning, there was frost on it. Now, this might be even more surprising when I tell you that I went out to my car this morning at 10:30 a.m. Yes, it was in the shade, but it was that cold out.

Luke and I both are curious as to what exactly we need to get into (and back out of) Canada for our ski trip. We made an interesting discovery last night. “A valid passport or proof of citizenship and a photo id” are needed for entry. Elsewhere, under the “If I renew my passport, do I get my old one back” question, it says “yes, you get it back, and keep it safe, because it’s proof of your citizenship.” Logically, then, all we need is our expired passports (both of us went travelling in high school as minors, so they expire earlier) and our driver’s licenses.

And as a final note, I give you this picture, a strange coincidence that came in the same amazon.com shipment.
