Not the Great White North
Ok, so Canada is not exactly known for its scenic beaches and top rated surfing. So, Jordan just has to occasionally take some vacation time to find somewhere to get some waves in. He invited the team along, at his expense, but Korra was the only one able to go, and seemed to relish the idea of some warm water for once.

He spent most of the day on the waves, and now is just enjoying relaxing on the beach now that things have gotten quieter.

	Korra sat on the edge of the water, sighing as its warmth washed over her. This had been a nice getaway, and she was thankful to be somewhere warm, even if it was just for a day. She closed her eyes, lying back on the sand. This is nice, she sent out to Jordan. Thank you for inviting me (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Korra blushed a little. "No, no it did not. And it's warm. I thought I was used to the cold, in New York during the winter. None of that prepared me for Canada." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The blush gets an especial grin. "Nice color on you. But... yeah. Canada is definitely its own kind of cold. I even notice it now and then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
