... of repacking the car, which I can understand as it is a bit of a jigsaw puzzle to get everything to fit! We spent the morning at Kakabeka Falls (Dad and I chuckle every time we say that name...mom doesn't find it quite as funny!). We went for a little hike and got some pretty awesome views of the falls. After a picnic lunch we headed out for today's drive. We moved away from the great lakes region...which feels good because ...

... s classrooms to say goodbye. So hard. <br><br>I went back to town and met up with Dan. He had done the Don Juan coffee tour and had really enjoyed it. We had a quick lunch and then were off to San Jose. The night was spent eating Chinese food and repacking our bags. <br><br>San Jose-- I realized that I had now been to San Jose 6 times and really hadn't seen any of it. Dan and I made it our goal to remedy that. We had a slow start in the morning (I blogged that last blog) and Annie and ...

... and you are the coldest city for a population over 500,000 people you need to survive on something.  Beth stopped many times to document the different pieces of art painted on the older buildings downtown.  Also she pointed out the unique stair cases that littered the backs of many buildings in downtown Winnipeg.  So we trudged over the Hi hostel where she would be staying.  Lucky for her it is right beside the Portage Place, one of the oldest malls in ...

They are not even a year old yet, but they have gotten so big since we got them. They are very strange, very strange. These 4 legged members of my family deffinitaly brighten up all of our lives (even Laddie with all the work we have to do with him) they all make us smile :D Laddie ...

One more week and I board a plane to Quito, Ecuador. Even though I've known about this trip for over three years, I've only really started planning and preparing for it in the last few weeks. I booked my airfare at the end of July and have been on a spending spree ever since. New clothes, backpack, sleeping bag, hiking boots and a bunch of other gear that will hopefully ...

... coming from! As part of the casino there was a dancefloor and bar. We went down stairs to watch the band for a while and ended up dancing the night away! It was really good fun! The late night meant that we missed a breakfast date on Sunday morning though - oops! Sunday was spent with Ed driving around to get used to driving on the opposite side and also going to Elmer's for a gorgeous mexican dinner cooked by his very fair hands. We then ...

... distances traveled by ship, plane, train, bus, truck and van. HOW MANY DAYS DID YOU RIDE? There were 70 days where we rode and changed locations (towns &amp; hotels/hostals). There was very little other riding, as once we checked into a hotel we used public transportation for the most part. WHAT WAS THE FURTHEST DISTANCE YOU RODE IN A DAY? Furthest was 1032 Kilometers from Buenos Aires ...
