We eventually will get out of Canada...

Dec. 24th we spent Christmas Eve with my Mom and family in Yorkton, Sk.

Then travelled to Brandon to spend Boxing Day with John's brother and family.

Dec. 27th, we left Brandon, and 10 km south, John noticed the alternator on the RV was not charging. So he pulled a U-ie (not so easy to do with our "rig") and got back to Canadian Tire in Brandon. He had to buy a new alternator and change it himself. Good thing he knows how!! By 3:30, he was done, and since we allowed extra time for travelling, we decided to stay another night in Brandon. Beat Jake & Rita at a game of canasta!



Then we started out AGAIN on Dec. 28th. Alternator works just fine. The border crossing guard at the Peace Gardens searched our RV and car - he was quite nice, but the guy at the wicket was extremely rude. We got through in about 20 minutes with no problems.

Drove through to Aberdeen S.D. where we are spending the night at the Super 8 Motel. I am glad to be able to see that my WIFI card works, finally! Am not very happy with the speed of my laptop though.

Good Night.
