Back Home...

Hello all!
We apologize for the lack of posts over the past little while - we've been without wireless for a little bit. After re-integrating back here we promise to post some photos from the last leg of our journey.

G'bye Edmundstown




Being a philosopher, I have come to accept that all good things must come to an end (including, I suppose, being a philosopher . . . although I haven't accepted that one yet). So it is that today we depart from our fine hosts here in Edmonton. The dogs bark, which I take to be a sign that they know their lives will never be quite the same. And though they do not bark, I feel that the humans, Leah, Jack, and Jake (who has already left for work) will also be irreparably damaged (or improved, depending on how you look at it).

The world's largest mall was our locale yesterday. Indeed, the indoor roller coaster went uncomfortably close to the ceiling and the flamingos hooted and honked inside their tiny environ. The mechanical dragon did not breathe fire in front of us, but we did witness the expert Dance Dance Revolution skills of an unidentified rogue. A good time was had by all, I believe. What you see here are the memories and players in said memories of our time well spent. --SPH

E-Town!





The home of the Oilers! We have the pleasure of being immersed in the busy family lifestyle of my dear cousin Leah, her partner Jake, their son Jack and their extraordinarily friendly puppies, Lady and Gracie. We spent the day exploring the booming metropolis of Edmonton, and feasting on Alberta beef in a delightful BBQ dinner. We encountered this crazy little dude in a sombrero and this group of street thugs in the downtown. We now relax with some delicious G & Ts and reflect on the fact that the best part of our road trip has been the incredible opportunity to visit the friends and family we haven't seen in so long. [sidebar: while typing this blog entry, I left my G & T unattended and Jack sneaked by me and had a sip. He is now slurring his words...]
We spend another day in Edmonton tomorrow and then hit the road again Wednesday morning en route to Regina... --JW

Icefield Parkway




From Banff to Edmonton, we took the scenic route through the Icefield Parkway. And for $20 it better have been this beautiful. Not much else to say. I will let J tell the story of Edmonton. --SPH
