In Grande Prairie, Alberta Canada

Good Morning all,
Today is the 29th of July. We spent a night in the Best Western in Grande Prairie. It was our 3rd anniversery. (I found cards to get for theresa, she had already gotten them). So we treated ourselves to a hotel suite. It was very nice to be able to get up and go to the bathroom without having to worry about bears or having to get dressed. We ate supper at Tony Roma's. The hotel had a pool and Hot Tub that we used. (ahhhh... Relaxing) Explored the city. It was pretty nice. One thing I noticed was electric plugs all over the place. Why??? Its gets down to -40C here and they plug the cars in to keep the engine warm. Glad its summer and we'll be out of here before winter.
The bike rack was the first casuality on this trip. Doing a safety walk around we found that the welds had cracked on the rack and had to remove the bikes and mount them on the back window. We replaced the rack in GP it was a deal at $35 canadian. Hopefully this one is stronger. The rack broke some place between Banff and Jasper.
Oh our cel phones cost .69 a minute. We'll be using our calling cards in canada.
I've updated all the pictures that we've taken so far. Check back often, leave feedback and we'll be in touch.
