well as you can see from the photo we are without a car for a least a day as the transmission made a bad noise then decided not to drive anymore. so we are in edmonton for another night or two. the previous photo of me on the scooter was a few days ago when we were on vancouver island in victoria. from there we stayed a night in salmon arm, then banff, then hinton near jasper, now edmonton. looking at all the fun stuff along the way. the weather was not the best as you can tell from the photos but it was still sweet to see the mountains. ttfn daniel
