An Update From Just Across the Canadian Border

Here we are in Penticton, British Columbia, eating breakfast at a cute little cafe ("Aloha Charley's") with wifi. We left home Sunday morning, and made our way to Winthrop in the Methow Valley of eastern Washington. Yesterday we made the short drive across the border and up to Penticton, where they host Ironman Canada. I don't have much time, because we've got 8 hours of driving ahead of us before we make it to Banff, but I'd like to do a little update by the numbers.

# bike rides completed: 2

# bike rides that went ~70% farther than planned: 1

# deer sighted: ~8

# dead snakes sighted: 2

# chipmunks avoided: 1

# times loaner camp stove used: 2 (Thanks, TBJ!)

# borders crossed: 1

Can't wait for more wildlife sightings. Hope to update again once we make it to our condo in Canmore!
