Good Morning!

This morning, I woke up and got dressed for work. Like most of you probably did. But that may be where the similarities end.

Here's what I put on:

-a pair of smartwool leggings
-a pair of mountain khaki work pants
-a pair of wool socks
-a short sleeve shirt
-a long sleeve shirt
-a fleece
-a pair of waterproof sailing bibs
-a waterproof puffy winter coat (the warmest thing I own)
-a pair of rubber boots
-a beanie (they call them 'toques' (too-ks) here)
-a pair of very thick diving gloves

And I was cold. It's not so much the temperature, but the constant biting wind and the perpetual precipitation falling from the sky.

But then the sun peaks out, and the stunning beauty makes it easy to forget how cold and wet you are.

And to help you experience that beauty:
