Left the condo at 9:15 — which is really 8:15am West Coast time.

Stop 10 to Stop 11 today. Got the stats off the car when I arrived and moved stuff around inthe garage so I could park…. 52.5 mile per hour is my average for the 6 days on the road. 34.3 mile per gallon. Not bad — it was today through the mountains where the speed limit was 60 that pushed me into the 34+ range.

Great quick highway in BC — the toll road BC 5. Cuts about two hours off of the TransCanada 1 route – $10 (they take Visa) — and it’s 75mph (that’s 110 Canadian) and 2-2 lanes wide with 3 cars per mile — NOBODY is on this thing — it’s like having a freeway to yourself.

The border was quick — even with a stop at Duty Free for a liter of Jameson Irish Whiskey… got to the guys in the booth and had my choice of two — guess I should do the Abbotsford/Sumas crossing more often!

Arrived at 8:15pm — Jameson was hanging out in the kitchen. I feel bad that I haven’t seen his house — and he’s had it for two years (almost). Oh well, I have the summer to make it up to him.

Lots of email to catch up on after catching up with Jameson. He’s off to be around 11 since he’s up at 5am to get to his internship at the Mountains
