Prince Edward Island

I've got to get Kade to Canada.  And I need more raw oysters!

Climb Every Mountain

Cousin Will Woods and his wife Holly recently revisited the Canadian National Park where they got married, Banff. One of the highlights of their return was hiking up Sulphur Mountain. You can see that they spotted a herd of bighorn sheep near the summit. Will took these images with his iPhone and then immediately posted them on his Facebook Wall.

Toronto

Friend and former student Bekchan Khudayberganov lives in Toronto, Canada nowadays. Click the first image to spot Toronto. The rest of the images show Beckchan, his lovely wife and their precious kids. As a family, they love cookouts and walks in the park. For exercise, Beckchan has taken up biking. The last image is a group of Central Asians who now live and work in Canada. If you click it once to enlarge, Beckchan is on the far left. Finally, to see Beckchan barbecuing, click here.

Shashlik

This is Bekchan. He was a student of mine in Tashkent in 1994. Just recently Bekchan and his family moved from Uzbekistan to Canada. With the Toronto skyline in the background, Bekchan grills Shashlik the Uzbek way. To see what Bekchan looked like 15 years ago, click here and then find him among his classmates.
At Timour's dacha two hours south of Moscow, I did my best to take part in the shashlik cookout.
