1023 August 26, 2023 Edmonton

I walked along the road this morning; past Home Depot and Staples and strip malls. 

Tim met me in the hotel restaurant and we had breakfast.

This afternoon, we took the Jeep and drove to Queen Elizabeth Park.  We biked through the park and across the river. 

Today was the 2023 Americas Triathlon Cup.  There were bikers and runners in various stages working to complete the race. 

Unfortunately, the river water quality was not healthy enough to allow for the swimming portion.  Competitors had to complete two running segments instead. 

It was a gorgeous day and there were people everywhere.  After our bike ride we had wanted to go to the Old Strathcona Farmers Market.  There was a kids festival going on and there were throngs of wee ones and families.  We couldn’t find any street parking and we decided to forego the market.

We found a small hole in the wall sushi place where we enjoyed excellent sushi.

The Daytona NASCAR race was televised here this evening.  I ordered carryout, salads and mussels, from the Italian place across the street and went to get our dinner.

We heard from the Freightliner service department.  They have diagnosed our problem and they can have our repairs completed by Wednesday at 8pm…maybe earlier. 

We have some extra days here in Edmonton!  We are on vacation!   I extended our hotel stay.  Tomorrow, we will have to go back to the RV and get some more clothes and other odds and ends.  We will see what we can find to do to keep ourselves occupied.
