You look like a Brit!!!!



In all seriousness, toques cover your ears - extra protection from the cold.

Glad you are got some snow, but would really hope you get to see a snowstorm.
Totally awesome!!

Golden, BC, is a lovely little town. Good nosh and beer in one pub. This is in the Riverhouse Tavern where we ended up. Great pub, good atmosphere, good beer.

Nice fire going at the back of the Riverhouse Tavern.
