We’re in Edmonton now. I’m currently sat in our Hostel working a LiveChat shift, luckily it’s quiet so I can multi-task. Our plan for the day is to drive over to Jasper (with our Communauto) and then nothing from there.
I wrote a really detailed breakdown of how we passed the time in my last post, but I accidentally deleted it when I published. I’m going to re-do it now…
