Goodbye to the neighbors we LOVE

Calgary to Lethbridge, AB

Thanks so much to Rebecca and Lars for hosting a lovely event last night that gave us the opportunity to say goodbye to some friends from the hood. K.C, Fred and baby Colby are honorary Inglewoodians now too.

After a late night spent partying, packing we decided to forgo the early start and have a little sleep in. Besides, the whole idea of the trip is to get away from deadlines and agendas so what better time to turn over a new leaf?

 Michele ( Liz's sister)joined us for one  last breakfast at the Blackfoot Truck stop then  we had a much appreciated send off from Al, Michele, Darryl, Rebecca, LArs, Casey, Angela and Lisa.

We made it all the way to Lethbridge before the sun went down! At this rate we should be in Mexico in about 4 weeks. The draw of a hot tub, water slides and a pizza was too much so we stayed  here for the night. Besides, the notorious winds blow so hard here that the snow has formed in huge drifts across the roads. It just doesn't feel right to be in our campervan negotiating the snow like this in the dark.

I think the boys are excited about crossing the border tomorrow. They have asked us a hundred times, "How long till we get to the U.S.?" I think they think that just across the border is the land of endless sunshine and free skateparks.
