Cochrane, Saturday August 25, 2012


 
I suppose this can be my second and final post of the summer before returning to Albany. We have left North Bay and what has been an unexpectedly wonderful summer.

 
 The course I took at the University went well and I’m looking forward to similar experiences in future. Everyone was flexibly generous with their time in order that we might meet up within the shrinking window of opportunity. There were girls’ weekends, camping trips, and guests at the cottage from half an hour away all the way to 5 hours away.


 
The looming cross-country trip has officially been concluded now that we’re safely back in Cochrane. I really don't care to count the precise number of hours or kilometers driven over the last week, but it's safe to say it was in the ballpark of 10,000.

We followed the meandering Hwy 11/17, giving us lots of room to discover the rugged rocks and sparkling lakes of Ontario,


The unexpectedly and naturally calming lands of friendly Manitoba,

 And the golden, rolling plains of living skies belonging to southern Saskatchewan.
 




A friends' wedding was in Waterton Glacial Park in southern Alberta which quite perfectly brought us right into the mountains. 






Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan


 
 
We had lots of opportunity to visit family ranging from Calgary and Moose Jaw to Mississauga and Toronto.


It's back to Albany come Sunday and back to work come Monday. The fun continues!
