Welcome to Canada!

Hey, all! I promised I would keep everyone updated on the great adventure, and this is my attempt. I've named the blog Cold Texas, due to a comment someone that I would be moving to a cold version of Texas. And I have to say, the comparison has been apt so far - I've been treated to searing sunlight, dry weather, excellent brisket at a BBQ festival (Alberta also has a relatively large beef industry), and small-town friendliness during the few days I've been here. I've yet to see any cowboy boots or any tolerable Mexican food, but there is a fair number of large pickup trucks and Skynrd fans. In fact, our temporary roommates are out for the day this Labor Day holiday doing nothing other than floating the river (a time-honored Austin tradition). Granted, that's a much colder river than I would ever deign to step foot in, but hey, it is all of 70 degrees out, right? It's important to have a good time before the snow hits.

I'll try to get the wedding pics up next!
