02/18 flight to Canada
the mother of all flights... the move to Canada! We travelled for 28 hours, incl. 3 flights (Brussels-London Heathrow-Edmonton-Regina), long overlays and some extra delay... but we made it! :)

some impressions of our first days as residents of Regina!
03/01 Ford Taurus 2003

03/02 - 03/30 miscellaneous March pics
pics from supper at Tony Roma's, the basement, the cat, and more!
03/02 winter prairie Regina-Fort QuAppelle
we went for a drive, left Regina to the east, to Indian Head, Fort Qu'Appelle and back to Regina. There was a hard and cold wind (-15, felt like -29), blowing up a lot of snow!
03/04 - 03/08 Greenwater Lake Provincial Park
before we had to start with our new jobs, we wanted to make a trip up north in Saskatchewan and feel some more real winter. We chose a cabin of the Fisherman's Cove, on the edge of the Greenwater Lake Provincial Park.

on St. Patrick's Day (Irish holiday) we went out with Cortney and Geneva for wings and green beer at the Stats Cocktails & Dreams sportsbar in Regina

03/28 Into Eternity leaving for a tour
on March 28th, Into Eternity (Tim's band) left for a US/Canadian tour with Symphony X and some dates in Japan (not with the RV of course hehe)! They'll be gone for 5-6 weeks....

30th annual Pow Wow of the First Nations University here in Regina, with dance and singing contests, a colourful spectacle! *pics from the video footage still to be added*

05/08 our new house!
On April 30th (yes, our Dutch Queen's day :)) we bought a house! We waited until after the conditions (financing and a satisfactory home inspection) were met to put it online, here some pics of when we were there for the inspection and measurements
