ARRIVED safe, sweating and smiling

---

Greetings and welcome to our much anticipated travelblog!

After some running around to the passport office, some hugs here and there and some salty tears, Lindsay and I finally were reunited in the Vancouver International Airport.

Karina (my sister) Matt (her boyfriend) and Rosa (their good friend), met us with smile, jokes and open arms in Toronto. After spending a week with them I was totally converted into a die hard Marxist and vegan for life, (well, perhaps not to radical, but close). Lindsay had a great week in Montreal with Michelle, snowball fights, late nights and rowdy Quebecois.

Now we’ve been tossed from chilly, relatively quiet, wintery Eastern Canada into noisy, boisterous, humid and summery Buenos Aires, federal capital of Argentina. We are smiling, sweating, sleepy and stunned by the city’s smells, noises, action and pace. My host mother (from my Rotary Exchange), met us with flowers, hugs and enthusiasm. It was so sweet of her to travel 1800km from Bariloche to meet us!!!

Anyway, we will write again once we’ve had some actual adventures and time to think about this whirlwind to the other side of the continent.

All our love,

Jenica and Lindsay

THE CN TOWER
Matt and Jenica in Toronto, it was actually so cold that day, but the sun was out and we, the two of us and Rosa, went to the top of the CN tower, it was breathtaking!!!

LOVING COUSINS
Karina, Tanya (our cousin, from my mom{s side of the family) and I, all dressed up for an evening on the town in TO. I will try to get some Buenos Aires fotos up ASAP, but no USB outlets make it tricky!

VANCOUVER
Me and all my 100lbs of luggage ready to head from Vancouver to Toronto. Although I was so sad to leave Vancouver, I had an amazing time in TO with Karina, Matt and Rosa and Peanut Butter Ville's new mayor

So good to see you!
Linds, I can't tell you how great it was to have you as part of my daily life here in Montreal. Jeni, I wish I could have shared it with you too, but we'll soon join forces to take on SA!! I love you both SO much, and I'm glad you made it safe and sound to your new home.
