I found myself cheerfully boasting “I’ve never left Calgary in the dead of winter” a few times before I left for Costa Rica a few weeks ago. But, since I’ve come home, all I have ringing in my ears is “I’ve never returned to Calgary in the dead of winter.” Ugh. It’s painful. The discrepancy in temperature is one thing (±60ºC), but what really hurts is the disparity in life. Calgary is desolate, Costa Rica is just teeming. Check out some of the select photos and I’m sure you’ll agree.
I’ve also posted a whole lot more on my Flickr page.
