Into Canada

Tuesday, March 04, 2008

Under cloudy sky and upon damp roads we leave Oregon today. The coast line is beautiful…it is rainy season here, but it is sooo humid! It rains on us everyday and that is inside the trailer. We try to keep up with the wiping of the windows, ceiling, walls, and cupboards, yet it continues to drip on us. There is nothing quite like waking up to a drip, drip, dripping on your head…when you are laying inside your home. We are eager to dry out, as our clothes are starting to mildew…eeeewwww!

We feel like today is the day we are beginning to head home. We start out today-planning to make it across the border back into Canada. It is day 200 on our trip-wow…where did the last 100 days go? We are anticipating that we may be awhile at the border-the trailer is significantly fuller than when we entered the States back on October 14th.

We will spend some time in Langley and Abbotsford over the next few days before we attempt the journey over the mountains back into Alberta. Jay’s cousin Wade and his wife Carol live in Langley and have offered their driveway as a place to call home while we visit. We appreciate it, as it is difficult to find a campground in Canada this time of year. Staying so close to them also provides more opportunity to visit before hitting the road again. Darla’s sister Nadine, husband Jeff and two cutie-pies, Josh and Amelia, live in Abbotsford - we are so excited to see them now that Josh is talking so well and Miss Amelia is running around. Ever notice that once you have kids Nadine... it's all about them.
