Had a great visit to Edmonton last week. As usual, feted and feasted by Gerdy and Jacques. Snow on the highway gave way to sun and blue sky which stayed with us the rest of our visit. We enjoyed - as always - Charles and Lorette and their take on life, and gossip on the Edmonton arts scene. A highlight, a visit to the UofA's exhibit Dressed to Rule, Quin dynasty imperial robes and archives, only on view until mid-December. We also enjoyed an interactive presentation by Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi.
A visit to the dessert factory outlet - yup, you heard that right - was timely.
We enjoyed co-hosting lunch at home for departing Consul Lou and daughter Christi. Also welcoming new consul Zhang and his lovely wife Flora. Morag, Don and Anna rounded out the group. Morag cooked dinner, I supplied yule log! Anna created a marvellous collage card for Mme. Lou of the consulate's party for Chinese adopted children, good memory to take home.
