We've arrived in Vancouver!

Here we are, 8,600 kms later, and we've arrived in Vancouver! It is raining here today, but only mildly, and we're excited to begin checking things out here. Tomorrow we are going to deposit some Atlantic water into the Pacific to celebrate our successful journey of two oceans. And we have a spot on the Vancouver Talk Radio program, CKNW 970am, tomorrow at 11:30am.

We spent the last few days in Banff, campiing at Tunnel Mountain. What a wonderful place Banff is! We dropped Lesley off downtown so she could have lunch/coffee/time to herself. The kids and I toured around and got some great footage of lots of critters.

Before that we finished a great stay in the Badlands. As you can see from the pictures, the Stettler Train Ride was a hoot.



Driving yesterday between Banff and Vancouver we all felt pretty tired. We've all had moments where we wondered what we were doing, but usually at different times. Yesterday we had the "moment of doubt" all at the same time, which was a bummer. But once we arrived in Vancouver that all melted away. So good to have reached the other ocean!


We stayed with friends last night and will do so again tonight. Warm beds, hot showers, no tent to pack up, what a treat!
