Well, what have we been doing while waiting for our parts.....

Still in Alberta, near Edmonton

We have been mixing with celebrities. This is Buttercup, as seen on You tube. She famously skateboards. Her owner, funnily enough, comes from Aylesbury, UK, where I used to teach....small world!

With all the other campers, we have been polluting the atmosphere! Steak, marinated in red wine, cooked on the campfire was the best steak we have had for a long time.

The air was full of dragonflies in Pembina Provincial Park and in Wabamun town, 30km down the road, the dragonfly is the town symbol.











 

We walked into Wabamun town a few times, about 12km return, to shop and watch the boats launch in the marina.  Lots of water sport on the large lake here.
Locals drop boats into the water like wives drop commuting husbands off at the railway station.

I have been trying to keep up with yoga, inside the van to
avoid  'down dogging' in public. i.e. bum in the air. No photos!
Supine movements find me with one leg lopping into the loo, but needs must.

Along the river in Pembina Provincial Park we played Pooh log, a version of Pooh sticks but with logs! It passed the time with childish pleasure, as we walked along the river bed.

I enjoy the wild flowers and the trees starting to turn, especially when caught in the evening sun.

On first glance a nylon cord but no,
a Garter snake.

Bit of a mushroom theme developing over the weeks. I am attracted to their shape and texture, I suppose!

I hope we get fixed up soon.... ready to move on!
