It's 7:15pm and the pack has made it safe and soundly to Hamilton, home of the Ti-Cats, steel plants and now Boy, Girl and Ribsy. Thanks WestJet for a smooth ride from Victoria via Edmonton. It was a beautiful day by Hamilton standards, a cool 1 degree and semi-blue skies. If you look closely in the second picture on the left, you will see an infamous smoke stack rising high into the 'sphere.
Boy and Girl were extremely worried about Ribsy's first plane ride ever. But coming off the airplane in Hamilton he was a bit shaky but otherwise dandy as pie. The airport was proudly advertising the upcoming Brier men's curling championship tournament starting this weekend...maybe this will be a first step to integrating in Hamilton?
Boy and Girl's Honda salesperson in Hamilton picked them up from the airport. They saw their new skookum Element but because of red tape (you need an Ontario driver's license before you can insure a car under your name apparently) they weren't able to drive off in their new baby. But Honda was kind enough to lend them a spacious, self opening Odyssey for the time being.
Ribsy's off to bed soon. It's been a long day. More to come from the Hammer.
