Final Destination: Whitecourt

We arrived in Whitecourt on Easter Monday, and were welcomed with love by the other South African medical couples. The apartment (condo!) that we are renting from our friends is lovely and had been stocked with rusks, fresh food, a freezer full of meat and frozen meals, flowers and chocolates. As a settling in present it snowed, covering the ground and our newly borrowed Ford 4x4 truck with white powder.

The last few days have been taken up with setting up bank accounts, cell phone (mobiles) contracts, land line phone, internet, movie contract and everything else that modern daily living requires. Tomorrow we are going into Edmonton where Craig has his appointment with the College of Medicine, and we will also stop past IKEA (wonderful place!) to find new furnishings for our new home.

Our new condo:

Snow on our first night - borrowed truck, left hand drive: poor Craigy!

Good Luck Craig

Craig is writing his Canadian medical exam today, after studying for about four days in total.

Good Luck!
