Edmonton, Alberta....

Damn it's cold - Canada had me fooled into thinking it would be harmless when it came to the cold. We were in Alberta last week. Truth be told, they don't know what to do with black people there, but it's cute, great shopping and lots of wonderful places to eat.

I'll also remember this place because this is where I was when I watched President Obama get sworn in as the 44th president of the United States. Now we are not the Scourge of the world.

Edmonton itself is bustling, real, convenient and for sure really, really cold - can't wait to get back home, although I will miss the overall health and wellness of Canada
