A different look than Reunion, but extremely beautiful in it's own right - thus, meet Canada!

Stunning waterfalls:



Beautiful landscapes:








Exotic Northern Lights:


Large wildlife:




And even beaches (but usually colder water smile

Have a great weekend!

Less, can you answer something for me?

I am wanting an Amora Gem for my 10th wedding anniversary in January 2014. I see that you expect a decision about the patent by summer 2013. Is it realistic to think that there would be Amora Gems for sale by then?

Thanks!!

Wow, exciting news.... I wonder, in my case, how shipping an Amora Gem from Asia, or Monaco might affect import taxes. Since we have NAFTA with you guys, all made in USA items only get VAT added, but an Asian item might carry high import duty fees, plus VAT... Oh well...

Also, what happens if I want my Amora Gem set in a setting that BTD makes, do I have to order the setting and stone separately and have the stone set locally?

Didn't know that about gold and precious metals... That is way too cool!

Canada is gorgeous!

Not true Less. Let me introduce you to Grand Beach, a fresh-water beach located just outside Winnipeg, Manitoba and well known as one of the best beaches in North America.

The water is warm, the beach is huge, the sand is fine and there are sand dunes and tons of cottages around it.

It's one of many wonderful beaches in Canada. smile

I put "backyard" in quotes because I have to drive about 45 minutes to an hour to be in the Rockies. But they're close enough to see very well from our home. Sort of my backyard. LOL

I'd love to see that view from my window every day. Texas isn't known for its mountains smile

Soooooo excited about The weekly update from Less,especially about the Asscher cut!

That was my old "backyard". smile It was one of Playboys top beaches in the world or something long ago. It is much nicer (for me) when it is not as busy as those pictures! Also only warm in summer. It gets frozen over winter and into spring! crazy Good for ice fishing & snowmobiling.

Now, I share your "backyard"! Sort of, I am closer to Waterton than Jasper & Banff, etc!
