Heartland Lodge Stettler

As we bring this adventure to a close……
Final Thoughts:

Would have consistently taken pictures of unusual signs that we saw as we saw many
Glad to be ‘home’, but not necessarily glad to be back in Alberta
This is a really BIG country
This is a really beautiful country
Good outweighs evil!!!
There is beauty in the rain
Fall is still, by far, my favorite season
I feel smarter J but still very ‘dumb’

So I was in Edmonton to write the EMR exam again for the 2nd time, just the written protion. Drove to Edmonton from Calgary, even though I was there to write an exam it was really nice to just be me on my own with no one around to bother me.

This is a piece of our heritage that we should not miss out on. We travelled on a steam train from Stettle to Big Valley, had a large buffet dinner, were robbed by gun toting bandits and taken back to Stettler with the big transcontinental locomotive. A fun day and the traffic was light too.

I went to Drumheller this weekend, camped at a private campground with Charity's youth group. Hot dogs and burgers abound. The Tyrell dinosaur museum was not nearly as cool as I remember it being when I was in elementary school, although we did go to a historical coal mine (Atlas), which tickled my fancy in some regards. A few interesting things I learned from our exuberant tour guide/comedian: The rail cars shown (see my ...

... and write back you can, right from the travelpod. Off to Travis and Melissa's wedding this weekend, pack Sunday night, then leave Calgary on Monday at 10am. Pete and Peggy have arrived in Shenyang today, we shall join them on Tues 8th. Back to scrambling to get ready. Cathy, Rob, Kevin.

Ich bin von Jasper Richtung Edmonton losgefahren, nochmals bis Hinton und dann weiter. Das hat 3 Tage in Anspruch genommen. Die Natur hat sich ziemlich veraendert seit ich letztes Mal hier war. Auch die Geweihe der Hirsche wurden groesser. Irgendwo unterwegs ist es dann passiert. So ein infamer feiner Draht hat sich in aller Heimlichkeit durch meinen Pneu gebohrt und ein nichtauszudenkendes Desaster am Schlauch angerichtet. Durch voll ueberlegtes Handeln, und dank ...

... giggle. I pulled away. She pulled off the blindfold, and just stared at me. I'll never forget the look on her face. She jumped out of the vehicle and then in true Marcia style she jumped up and down while gasping and muttering and giggling, "Huh? What? Aah?" What a blast. What a great night. April 13 - Administration Day and Night Out Of all of the administration days we have had throughout the trip, this was definitely the busiest one. It ...

Well this is where it all begins. After a year living and working in Edmonton I decided to move on to something else and I accepted a job in Calgary. I also managed to sweet talk my way into having 5 weeks off before starting my new job, so off I go. The entire eurotrip was very spontaneous, I bought a ticket for Paris and that was it as far as planning. My last day ...

... boarding Singapore Air for 19 and a half hours. This lands us in Singapore at 11:30am on October 1. We've got books, cards, food and smiles with us, so hopefully the flight won't seem quite so long. We are going to miss our families and friends very very much!!! We will definitely be keeping in touch as often as possible. Stay tuned for our next update....from SINGAPORE!!!! Dana and Trevor
