Our ninth day of geostudies and it's another great week. We all had our questions prepared and ready to ask the "elders" about their impression of our environment, in the past and now. Grove Park Home was a short walk away and after we had all our groups arranged we went to meet our elder. It was pretty eye opening to talk to a 90 year old woman who said at one time they used catalogue pages for toilet paper. Talk about recycling! She reminded us that this winter was ridiculous compared to the snow they used to get when the drifts would be up to her barn roof. Good luck shovelling! Back to school and it was time for presentations. Lucky me, Thailand and the US were up first. It was interesting to learn how similar the problems are that countries face every day, and to realize once again that living in Canada is a gift that we should take of. Presentations over and it was time to figure out what to wear curling! We were all pretty excited -- wondering if the videos would actually help us figure this new sport out. The week goes by so quickly and I'm looking forward to all the weeks to come.
