Wet in the Wilds

Okay, it's not that wild.

This morning we left the beauty of Glacier National Park behind us. A thunderstorm started as we were packing up, leading to a good thorough soaking, and the storms continued right up through our arrival in Calgary. Setting up camp here led to an even more impressive soaking. It's all good though, got to try out the new rain jacket and see if it actually works.

It does, but that sort of made it obvious how wet the rest of me was.

It's great to be oot here in Canada, to see what the great city of Calgary is all ahboot.

It really has been pouring nonstop... when we stopped to fill up on petrol, I had to keep one foot on the pump island and the other on my tire as there was an 8-inch river flowing through.

We had PKF for dinner tonight. Poulet Kentucky Frit.

We don't actually have anything to do here, 'cause it's pouring rain. Although this is the first RV park we've ever stayed at with a fantastic on-site liquor store.

And some of our children are on day 19 of a nonstop temper tantrum. Need to find some sort of Zen self-help book to get the rage under control. Um, I mean mine.

Tomorrow morning Grandma is flying back to Rochester; Liz is accompanying her and then flying back to Calgary. We wish them the best of luck!

We also wish good luck to Ms. Carroll and company from St. Louis on their trip to Kenya! Liz says take lots of pictures and bring home some audio.

This campground has the best WiFi connection we've had the whole trip, but I've got nuthin to right about.
