Hola
Great Blog! Looks like you had a great Christmas in Saskatoon. What a contrast, from Mexico to skiing at Table Mountain. We also were skiing in Whitefish at New Years and then in Thailand on the 10th! Seems like you just keep continuing to have more and more great adventures in Mexico. Take Care. Mallory and Warren
