Anyone Left in Canada?

Today Penny and I were walking along the sidewalk in Ajijic coming back from the dentist (again!) and she mentioned that she thought she saw Elvis Stojko. Thinking that there aren’t a lot of ice rinks in the area, she must be mistaken. Determined she went up to him and asked him outright if he was Elvis Stojko, and his reply was in the affirmative. He was helping his father moving some very large candles into their truck. It turns out that he has lived here for over 5 years. Despite the fact that he was responsible for putting Canada on the world stage for figure skating, he was not snotty or conceited in any way, just a really nice guy.

This afternoon I went to the Canadian Club to hear Shelia Copps speak to the group of expat Canadians. In the crowd was Allan Gregg one of Canada’s most recognized and respected senior research professionals and social commentators. It seems that everyone from Canada is down in Ajijic!
