Canucks???

(from Wikipedia) ... The Random House Dictionary notes that: "The term Canuck is first recorded about 1835 as an Americanism, originally referring specifically to a French Canadian. This was probably the original meaning, though in Canada and other countries, Canuck now more often refers to any Canadian." We are now permanent residents of Canada, which may not qualify us to be Canucks, strictly speaking, but we're more Canuck than any other Williams in our family ... and proud to be!

Immigration Trip




This was taken on our "immigration trip" - when we had to drive south to the Montana border, make a u-turn, and come back through customs to have our passports stamped as permanent residents. On our way back, we drove through the "badlands" of Alberta, including this beautiful place called horseshoe Canyon. One of the things that is so remarkable about this area is that the canyon is such a surprise - there is Kansas-style prairie/farmland for as far as you can see, and then suddenly this incredible canyon appears. The stacks of sandstone in the area are called "hoodoos." We had fun hiking around those as well.
