From Kelowna we headed further west about 3 ½ hrs drive toward Vancouver. The further west we went, the warmer it got, I guess mostly due to the falling elevation and nearness to the coast. We had two school visits today; Fraser Valley Adventist Academy, Aldergrove, in the morning, and Deer Lake Academy, Burnaby, after lunch. At Fraser Valley we bumped into Marie Berthelot, an Avondale College teaching graduate, and at Deer Lake we ran into Simon Pleskovic, anot...

The drive from Calgary, Alberta, to Kelowna, British Columbia, yesterday afternoon was absolutely amazing. The main highway 97 goes right through the middle of Banff National Park and Glacier National Park (BC), and unlike Glacier National Park in Montana, it was passable! The 600km drive from Calgary to Kelowna has been the most spectacular we have seen yet. It's so hard to find the words, let alone take pictures that can capture the beauty and magnitude of the ...

The border crossing from USA into Canada last night went fairly well. Firstly we were asked what our purpose for visiting was, we explained and once again declared our giveaway pens and then our passports were checked and it was verified that we had no criminal convictions, so then we were on our way. Our car didn't even get searched thankfully. Anyway, we are into our second tour now and Chinook Winds Academy in Calgary was our first Canadian school visit. Befo...

So, we've been heading north, because our next tour, the Northwest Tour begins in Calgary, AB Canada. Another country to tick off our list! We stayed in Missoula, Montana last night and planned to visit Glacier National Park, which was on our way to Calgary. We were hoping that we might see bears and moose at Glacier seeing as though we missed out on seeing them at Yellowstone. Unfortunately when we arrived at West Glacier we were advised that the pass through th...

So we decided we would push on from Lincoln, NE to Jackson Hole, Wyoming last night. Jackson lies at the southern edge of Yellowstone N.P. and is a popular tourist destination especially in summer. We hadn't been able to pre-book any accommodation while we were on the road, so we flew by the seat of our pants a bit hoping that we'd find a vacancy when we arrived, and thankfully we did…just! We chose to have a bit of a sleep-in before we headed off to explore Ye...
