Sunday 11th July 2010……a quiet day!!!

Yesterday we had a lovely breakfast and the weather had clouded over so we stayed home and watched the soccer game Germany beating Uruguay and then went for a walk through the village…

This is the duplex where Sara is staying

The village is quite prosperous and there are at least a dozen new houses being built

The yards are clean and so are the paved streets

Hi Les,
Really enjoy your blog! Steve and I are travelling up the Cassiar Thursday or Friday next week on our way to Whitehorse. We'd love to drop in to say "Hi!" If you're interested, drop me a line: lillest (at) gmail (dot) com.

I can't give an exact date because it will depend on when they release our truck from the repair shop here in Terrace.

Best,
Esther
