we left vancouver on september 30 wide-eyed and ready to take in all the beauty around us that is BC. we did a quick trek to kelowna, bc and were again lucky to spend it with chris' aunt sandy and her family. we left early the next morning and began our drive to calgary. this, of course, took us through the canadian rockies. so beautiful. so majestic. especially with the fall colours in full force. on our way to calgary, we had to stop and spend some time in banff where we visited the hot springs for a quick dip as a reward for all of the driving that day. in calgary, we were so lucky to catch up with friends (greg & rachelle, andrew mac, johnny mac and angela). and thanks to greg and rachelle (& adelle) for putting us up for the night.
we left calgary at 6:30 this morning and made our way south to montana. montana - so beautiful, so serene. cowboys. cowboy boots. cowboy hats. big belt buckles. funny drawls. but friendly. we drove as long as we could and 10 hours later ended up in billings, montana where we've settled for the night. as for tomorrow, we decided to take it easy and do a half-day drive to mount rushmore in south dakota to take in the presidential sights. so timely. speaking of which, we made sure to rush back to our hotel room this evening to see the VP debate. our favourite buzz words this evening were: heckava, maverick, round'em up, reerin' its head, ramp up...good grief!
good signage in montana...

Great pics!
Ah yes...the debate! We took a drink every time 'ya know' was said! Let me tell you...it did not take us long to feel the juice!
It's funny, I'm for everything she's against and against everything she's for but I really like her! I'm a little worried that the 'undecided' vote feels the same way!
Are you positive you don't want to come down this way?!?! ;)
thanks for the invite, helen! making atlanta part of this trip is looking very unlikely ;) but who knows down the road. hurray up and get your butt back up to canada!
