Quick update

We had quite the long journey today, and we covered about 1500kn through three provinces.

We left Jasmine's house near Winnipeg at about 8am Central time, and arrived in Calgary at a bit past midnight, Mountain time.

That's about 17 hours on the road! We had breakfast in Brandon, MB and some pizza in Medicine Hat, AB. We also stopped for a quick swim in MB, and tried to do the same in SK, but their lakes are more like marshes, and are more appealing to birds than swimmers.

Time to sleep now. We're at one of C's friend's houses, and not Uncle Andrew's. When we realized we'd be arriving so late, we decided to release Andrew from the burden of waiting up for us, and were going to find some dive to sleep in.

Carmella phoned her friend Bruce from snowboard school, to set up a hangout for Saturday. He was enthusiastic about her being here in Calgary, and offered us shelter no matter what time we arrived. So here we are.

So, we're through the ugly part of the trip, and the mountains beckon us tomorrow. We're going to be more leisurely through BC, and should be back home on Sunday sometime.

It's been fun so far, and the relationship remains intact!
