Getting there slowly

Left Winnipeg two hours late.  Go figure.  This morning when we got up, we were in Wainwright instead of Edmonton, a full five hours behind schedule.  And it's snowing!  Made up only a half hour at Edmonton.  By the time we got to Jasper, we'd made up another half hour.  At this rate, we may not be home for another week!


There's a Road Scholar (formerly ElderHostel) group on the train, mostly Americans.  This morning at breakfast we overheard one woman ask another, "Do you know if you can drive from Montreal to Vancouver?  I mean, on a four-lane highway?"  I think they may need to rename the group. 

We've had meals a couple of times with a couple from Brazil.  Their English is remarkably good, which is great, as our Portuguese is nonexistent.  Interestingly, they have some French, too, so we've been using some of that to get over the occasional language hurdle.

I am so tired of wearing these clothes.
