CANADA EH!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is an exciting day




This sign certainly caught my eye
It's like
Going back in time




Speaking of going back in time
In 1964 we purchased our first car
OLGA BABY
She was red but had both headlights!
That's when we started travelling the roads
Chatham, Ontario to Edmonton, Alberta



Around the bend we go
CANADA
Here we come



Such a peaceful and quiet setting
on a Sunday morning



The sun is way over there, I know it!



Do you see the Maple leaf?
Do you see the name
CANADA?
I SURE DID!!!!!!!!



The long and lonely road



We are coming up to Chief Joseph's Dam





Don't you wonder how the dam was built?
Where did they start?
It must have been something for the locals
to watch the dam take shape



I bet this was a school bus at some time or another



Picker's Shacks



You can tell we are now in
Okanagan country



See, I told you
The sun is shining
Way over there, probably in Canada


I

Oh wow
Penticton this way
YEAH



OK Smokey
Good to know the fire danger is low



Can't go by without having a photo of a cow!!!!
Actually, these cows are quite pretty



What's the ol' saying
The grass is greener on the other side of the fence



This roof has been patched many times



The driver said.....
You can tell we are close to CANADA
Lights are on



I'm in my relaxation mode!



We're getting ready
Can you tell we are anxious



Out of the corner of my eye I saw the word
"Winners"
My mind went to shopping
To the Canadians it is WINNERS
To the Americans it is TJ-MAX



Next, my eye caught this building
An arena?????
We both commented!



We saw a lot of these little coffee 'houses'
Where's
 TIM HORTON'S?



OH CANADA
OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND



The province of British Columbia
Host of the Winter Olympics
2010
Gold Medals for the Canadian
 Men & Women's
 HOCKEY TEAMS



A great place for a bench



Read the little sign on the bottom left hand corner



I have seen this label before
The fruit trees are starting to blossom



This is Kettle Corn
a favourite of some people I know!!!!!!

I passed it up for.......................



This is real ice cream
not
Frozen Yogurt
A real treat for me!



This is a view of what the camers lady sees from her seat
I have taken 98% of the photos from this spot
as
the van travels at 75mph in the US of A
or
100 km in Canada



Here is Penticton



This fellow is taking full advantage of the wind



What do my eyes see!!!!!!!!!!!



Such a beautiful sight.....our flag



Starting up the final road



Ruby Tuesday's Winery



Oh boy, oh boy
We're almost there
and
The little ones are saying
Oh boy, oh boy
They're almost here!!!!!
