wow so another late night posting by "mac light" well it seems like several of you have found our spot! not near as many miles today but we HAVE ARRIVED SAFELY! for all the parents grandparents and worried pastor and church family we are here and safe and sound in Calgary, Alberta, CA! oh and for our church family and staff... the vans have never run better (i think they just needed some mountain air) so we are in and ready to get to work tomorrow so less touristy pics and more of our missionaries at work... we love you all, stay up with us lots of goodies to come!
our first taste of the mountains and beauty that became our staple scenery, we are still in awe of the majesty....
mountains are so beautiful but so were the falls of the infamous great falls, MT if you are a lewis and clark fan then you know all about the ardor to explore the tricky falls
we are smiling because this was pre-customs adventure... in case you hadn't heard the customs regulations have become even more astringent for those traveling by car than ever before and on the inaugural customs restriction day they delayed our transit for 2 hours because of system errors and restarts, but we were not hassled just held back but are still so excited to be in a brand new place
oh and one other fun pit stop came from vulcan, alberta... a small quaint town dedicated to star trek and trek culture... this replica hovers outside their museum which triples as their tourist/travel center and chamber of commerce what a wonderful place full of memorabilia, dedicated fans, and host to spock days (a annual conference that trekkies attend from around the country and US)... but one of the most interesting stories is linked here! what a cool place to pit stop at...

ReplyDeleteI had no idea there was a place called Vulcan, but it looks pretty interesting. I'm really enjoying the updates, but still looking forward to seeing you all in person again. The scenery looks beautiful! Love you!
