DAY 9, MONDAY, JULY 10
The women were nestled in a nice sleeping quarter for the evening. We have a huge screen tv in with us and we finally had to boot out the men who were watching the "TOUR". We just wanted to get to sleep... It is so much more peaceful sharing sleeping quarters with the women..no snoring! I was awakened shortly after 1 by Bob who was trying very quietly to set up his bed. He was moving out of the "snoring" quarters so camped in with us. He wasn't the only male to move in! There definitely was some music roaring on the other side of the door.
I slept so so, but stayed in bed until 8, wow..big sleep in! It was pouring out...big, big rain. We assembled laundry and headed off to the laundromat. I called my mom and dad. Dad is home recovering from a knee replacement. He is suffering with lots of pain, whch I know will last for several weeks. Be patient Dad, you'll get through it and be back on the tennis courts before long. Bob and I wandered around Canmore all morning picking up some supplies. As I write this he is cleaning up the bikes getting them ready for leg 2.
Canmore is a very beautiful town, surrounded on all sides by mountains. I would love to spend more time here and perhaps in future may entertain a house swap for a few months.
Tina, how are things going? Do you miss me? I feel like a traitor because I was in this fabulous quilt shop...wow, it was amazing. I did purchase a few patterns... hope to work on them in the fall. I also purchased a new pair of sunglasses. As mine had broken, I had been wearing a pair of Bob's which were too large. The new ones seem to give good coverage and hopefully will block the wind. My eye has been bothering me at night, the dryness. As I write this, I am in a lounge area with four dozing men. Why do they sleep with their mouths agape? Not pretty.
Bruce Kempt is the organizer of this tour. He works for the Canadian Bible Society in Edmonton. He had been planning and organizing this ride for 3 years. Mega work to accomplish this. His assistant Wendy Jeatt is also on board and they do a fabulous job of keeping things running smoothly. Bruce updates the Bible Society web site for this trip. Check it out, look at the photos and read his daily writings of the trip.

Sounds like you are strating to get into a nice little routine. We are at the Lake and it is very hot. I am sitting here with a cold facecloth around my neck to keep cool. I have been watching the weather where you are and it seems nice and cool. Just wait til you hit Ontario.
