Not surprisingly, we began the month with a hike up Cobble Hill. We practically skipped autumn when temperatures plummeted in early November. We received a small snowfall prior to leaving on vacation. We did some visiting prior to our trip. We spent two thirds of the month away from home, mostly on vacation to Jordan and Egypt! (I posted several specific blog entries detailing our adventures and sightseeing.) When we returned from holiday, we spent two nights in the Lower Mainland seeing family and friends. We were able to see Karyn during Canada's match against Croatia, then watch Germany tie Spain with my dad. The following day, I enjoyed Portugal's victory with Joe. We were fortunate to return home to Vancouver Island just prior to more snow and ferry sailing cancellations. What a month for sports! The World Cup is underway and I enjoyed watching games while away on holiday and with loved ones back in Canada. Despite disappointing results for Canada, we did get to celebrate Alfonso Davies scoring the first ever Canadian goal in the tournament. The Astros won the World Series, while the Lions bowed out early before the Argos won the Grey Cup. The Canucks and Warriors were inconsistent, and the NFL, too, remains difficult to predict. Since I watched six movies while on international flights, my monthly total was higher than anticipated. We watched television, including the much anticipated new episodes of "Yellowstone" and a documentary about Vancouver Island's wildlife. I completed only three novels as I didn't read while away from home.
