well, we are really geting close now to the start of spineride canada.  we have driven from toronto to banff, alberta.  the rv had an electrical problem (no 12 volt accessory power) which we had fixed after visiting three rv dealerships in winnipeg, hurray, the bathroom and sink work!  also, the toilet overflowed because the handle got stuck.  no problem thanks to a home depot carpet steam cleaner rented in winnipeg.  boy, were we glad to get moving out of winnipeg, i know our return visit will be better there.  late tonight we will arrive in vancouver.  for now we will just enjoy banff, the sun is sunning and it's hot, just beautiful. i am at a small free wireless internet place in banff, the bison bistro, with my laptop.  hope to update some photos and update in a few days.
