I realized we were close to you and even toyed with the idea of popping in to your office on campus to say "Hi!" However, it seemed kind of ill-mannered to simply surprise you, and we didn't actually know where we were going until about a week before we left.

St. Catherines looks like a great place to live! We could have bicycled to your house from Fort George.
