    Default I just got a phone call from Jasper Park Lodge : )

    Kerry arrived there last night and absolutely loves it.  He can't believe how high the mountains are and it's the first time he's seen snow!  He arrived there with 9 others and they got to know each other on the 3 hour trip to the resort.  He said the scenery was amazing and unlike anything he's ever seen, even in europe.

    He's rooming with a waiter called Hayden who is from Vancouver.  Hayden has a TV, DVD, Playstation and guitar, so Kerry is very happy.  Hayden is showing him around the village this afternoon.  He has a two day orientation starting tomorrow - they've already given him a 400 page folder of regulations and mission statements.

    On Wednesday he starts work in the kitchen and he said he can hardly wait to get in there.
