Day 2 - Manitoba


June 22, 2009

That was the best shower in the world last night. After 12 1/2 hours on the road we slept like babies.

6am We are "on the road again." The scenery is absolutely amazing. The Canadian Shield is truly rugged and beautiful. Pristine lakes, clear streams along the road perfectly mirrored. We are hoping to see a moose beside the road.

Clara, our new GPS gadget, knew about Winkler after the first 4 letters. Us Winklerites were very proud. Clara is the name we gave to our gadget because she sounds like the telephone operators of yester-year, so we thought the name suited that picture.

Hardly any traffic on this beautiful morning as the sun shines down on us. :)

Same scenery mile after mile after mile..... There is some road construction as we listen to more Greg Boyd and also some John Paul Jackson. John Paul is talking about protocols for the next move of God. He talks about honouring Him, boundaries and discipline which all ring true. We'll listen to more later.

At 3pm Manitoba time we have reached the border. We have sung many Beatle songs, some Kris Kristofferson and Brian Doerksen. The melodies will definitely leave their mark in Matt's car.

We have arrived in Winkler at 6pm to a grand reception by mom and dad Thiesen. The table is set with cabbage borscht and home made buns, with watermelon and roll kuchen for desert, yum yum. Very completely satifying.

Next stop is Sheri and Jonathan and of course Arielle our grand daughter. yay.
