Los Aventuras de Edmundo y Linda

Chaad woke us up early in the morning before he left for work for some sweet sweet goodbye cuddles before we left. We stayed at the Christiansen’s place in Kelowna, made dinner, went for a walk, talked to Mike’s mom and the fire alarm went off twice that day. We ended up driving the Christiansen’s boat and SUV back to Edmonton because they couldn’t.

We arrived in Edmonton late Aug 1st.  Its so awesome to be back among our friends and family but we both weren’t so excited to be back in Edmonton nor are we excited about having to deal with real life responsibilities again… well hopefully we will have another travel blog again soon.  Ha ha… looking at our bank accounts thats probably not likely!  Hope you enjoyed our blog, as you can probably see this was a trip of a lifetime for us!

Edmund and Linda

We left Seattle early morning to beat the lines at the border crossing. We visited Edmund’s uncle Norm & aunt Millie in North Vancouver, they took us out for an extraordinary lunch and we picked up our snowboard stuff that they so generously stored for us for the duration of our trip. We slept at Chaad’s during our stay in Vancouver and we did tons of things like… hanging out with Paul everyday, skimboarding, watched Chaad’s softball beer league named “Team Participation,” went to eat yummy sushi at “the eatery,” returned chaad’s stack of 6month old bottles to the depot and recycling, drove in Chaad’s sweet new ride, fixed Chaad’s toilet, played drums in Chaad’s room, saw “the dark knight,” made awesome pasta dinner, got Chaad a free TV from some dude on the street and watched the fireworks competition.

Took an early bus to Puno, Peru from Arequipa. The bus turned out to be a big piece of junk. The driver was a maniac and drove most of the trip in the wrong lane while passing semis around blind ... [Continue reading this entry]
