It appears that the Marlipops and Clive fan club has new members!
Welcome Martha and Cotton from Ballwin, Missouri. As you have joined late in the season, reduced rates apply, and the invoice will be in the mail!
Today we went shopping…….and discovered that everything here is twice the price of USA.
Captain Morgan is $55.00 for the same size bottle we pay $ 19.99 for in Houston or Tampa.
But we had to have it, so no food for a week!!
The Canadian people are extremely friendly and laid back, the money is pretty, different size and color bills, so even when drunk you can tell the difference………….so I’m told.
Big brother Brian is braving our hospitality and going to spend a few days with us in Anchorage in late July. Don’t tell him, but we’re now going east to New York!!
Sitting here in our coach, looking out over the golf course, with the cloudless sky above, the verdant green of the greens and the fair ways the fairways traverse the course, of course, it is wonderful to see that the vast majority of golfers, still teeing off at 7.30 in the evening, are youngsters, late teens and early twenties. (No comments about everyone is a youngster compared to me)
The owner of this establishment, (which by the way is for sale, anyone interested?) Bob has been telling us of the time when a bear and two cubs appeared out of the bushes and strolled along the golf course, with the golfers looking on, amazed.
Don’t know what their score was, but I bet it was under paw.
Today’s offering of ale is Warthog, proudly brewed in Alberta by Big Rock Brewery. Not bad at all, but still doesn’t beat Ropewalk. ( or Bankss, but until that is exported I’ll make do)
The pix today are I’m afraid the obligatory touristy ones from Dawson Creek.
The truck thing was sitting on the parking lot, and I’m sure will start a new fashion.
No wildlife to report today, but there is a report about a 5’ high penguin in the paper.
