Steam train!

Hi All
Today we went to Stettler and went on a steam train, this was Karen our friends secret, surprise for us.  We went to see the beautiful autumn leaves and colours and we were attacked by outlaws.  They came up on their horses and took our money from us. One was on the train and he scared me, asked me for all my money!!  Anyway they take this money we give them and donate it to the childrens hospital in Calgary.  WE were happy to donate.  It has been a long day so now it is time for bed.
Talk soon

Vancouver

Hi All 

we have made it to Vancouver - lovely city from what we have seen so far, and that is not much.  Very clean, and of course they take our US $ as they are worth more and give us parity??  They are very clever people ahahahha

nice to be here The Rose

Canada here we come!

We are in Seattle today but tomorrow we head to Canada and to stay in Vancouver - for a couple of nights at least.  After this we will be heading East to Alberta and see our friends if they have not left the country first??? ahahahah

SEATTLE

Hi all
in Seattle now and it is in heat wave too 82F here about 30C and everywhere we go it is hot hot hot - been up the space needle today and down to Pike St their market, resting now and then out for tea.
SSSSSOOOOOOO much walking in the heat, trying to stay out of the sun, my sunburnt arms are still peeling from 3 weeks ago and Eugene can not afford to get in the sun!!  MELANOMA!!
It is a very clean and pretty city here, very nice.
Sunday we hope to cross over to Canada, lets hope the customs and border patrol are better to me than San Francisco, where they made me stand hands up on the xray machine and then did a frisk - as i had diamenties on my top and then they took swabs of both my hands - looking for gun or bomb residue, glad to say - I PASSED ALL THAT!! and Eugene just walked through, can you believe that!!
Anyway we are enjoying our trip and no rain just heat waves
Take care

China Town

Hi All
Today very hot, took a taxi and rode down Lomard Street the windest street in the world and then onto China town and walked back to 5th Street, our hotel is on 7th Street, just had to catch a taxi the rest of the way as i was buggered, had been walking for about 4 hours by then.  One would think one would be losing weight, but we do stop to eat and drink, shock horror and the weight stays on even though we are walking walking walking!!
AS i cant get a plane out will go to the airport and see if we can get a plane to Seattle, as it wont take my mastercard!! LIFE WAS NOT MEANT TO BE EASY.
Now going to my room at 2pm and resting, soooo tired.
Will see if the Open USA tennis is on and lay on my bed and watch it ahahahahahah
talk soon
