First Leg of Trip Over

It's Saturday morning and I'm sitting in my hotel room overlooking the snowy landscape of Winnipeg. I arrived around midnight and stepped outside. Whoa!!!! It was as if I had stuck my face in a freezer. However, it wasn't as bad as I thought. The temps were below 0 degrees (I think about -8). But the good thing was, there was no wind. I think people can tolerate weather like this if they dress correctly. But I would sure would get tired of having to put layers of clothing on every time I wanted to go outside. That would be a total drag!

I met two wonderful Canadian ladies on the flight here to Winnipeg. It's refreshing to reaffirm that our countries are so much the same, but in some ways, different. Canada is going through much of the same economic crisis that the US is. We all pretty much shared the same concerns - what the future will hold for out kids and grandkids.

Question of the day:

It's now -22 degrees Celsius here in Winnipeg. How many degrees is that in Fahrenheit? (Hint: there is a conversion formula in the back of your textbook in the resource section).

Until tomorrow.....
