Hello!!! From Canada. well we are in what we believe to be as day 11.

This morning my dad and I got massages @ The Clarion hotel. Will was the masseuse. oh my gosh he is the best ever!!! We Love You Will. He plays the trumpet player in a Big Band, but he's trying to get more into the Jazz. I did the laundry while my dad got his massage then while the dryer was on it's last leg he came in so I could get my massage. He finished the laundry and Wendy showed up around 9:00 a.m.

We went back to the hotel Abigail and packed up tossed everything into the car. Wendy showed us some of the sites around Victoria.

We hopped a ferry around one and headed over to Vancouver. we got there around 3:00 and met up w/ bill and Carolina. we had lunch at the Japanese restaurant in the mall. Carolina was a doll and showed me around to all the best shops and what was hot over there. It was really cool. I got an outfit and 2 pairs of shoes that I'll use when I go clubbing or when I take Latin Dance Class. She's from Venezuela. She has long blonde hair, gorgeous skin, she looks like she used to model. and she has so much energy and love it's really cool. She'd make a great mom too, but in the end we had to say good bye. I got her two roses b/c she is so sweet, charming and lovely.

Love,
Katie

From Mitch:

Today was pretty relaxing. Katie did most of the driving on Vancouver Island, driving off the ferry and back on the ferry to leave. We spent a few hours with Wendy, she was delightful and gave us some home made canned tuna. Then we headed back to the mainland. The ferry had these things which I guess were life rafts, but looked like depth charges. Maybe Canada is arming their ferries for an invasion?

We meet up with Bill & his wife Carolina, they were great. Katie & Carolina hit it off and went shopping in a local mall, while Bill & I went to the parking lot to be bug people. It was real nice and thanks for the stuff and book. After many delaying actions by Katie we finally got on the road for Kamloops. We got in about 11 pm.
