Airport day today. I had the insomnia and didn't sleep much. I also had a weird dream that all people were teddybears?? I took the opportunity to get my own back on Dad by banging about showering and packing while he was still nodding. At the Airport Cowboys and Cowgirls walk about offering help and assistance... Strange, but they speak English/Canadian and they pointed us in the right direction. We checked our bags in and then Dad had a drama trying to take 2...

Swift Current and Medicine Hat were just a blur through the windscreen as it chucked it down for most of the drive.

He took his turn at driving for a few 'clicks' and decided he'd had enough so he pulled over to switch seats in the middle of a swarm of Mosquitos. The rain cleared as we drove through the Cypress Hills swatting Mosquitos. The Hills were a nice change of scen...

Dads insomnia has faded away since we hit Saskatoon we got up at a reasonable 10AM on Saturday! Judy has cooked us loads of awesome food while we have been here.

(looks like insomnia has been replaced with narcolepsy) Moose Jaw has a proud heritage of Gangsters such as Al Capone running moonshine to the s...

We've been at Mick and Judys for 2 days now, JJ the dog and I became friends. There is a river running through the city, on our first evening we went for a walk down that way and a bunch of people were just playing some sort of jazz music and dancing at the riverside .... Weird? I got them on video. Gofers and Beavers are quite abundant down by the riverside...., except when we went to see them and there was none, although we did see a few pelicans. We showed ...
