And then the weather

Photos to post later when we find somewhere to do that (at the cousin's house tonight) as I am at the Edmonton Library at the moment and cannot find the USB port as the CPU is locked up tight.

So the plane lands in Edmonton. We get the van, and it is better than I thought it would be. We get the tonnes of luggage loaded. Fine.

Driving into the city it starts to rain. Did you know Edmonton had some flooding lately. No. Well check this out: http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2004/07/12/canada/edmonton_storm_new040712


We were in that flood. Water rushing over the highway. Water up to the undercarriage of the van. And Albert drove right through it. Photos we have are great.

Went to East Side Mario's for dinner and had to park way out back where there was high ground. The parking lot was under water.
Went to Grandma and Grandpa's after dinner and had to detour halfway around town as roads were close (under water) all over the place.
