Our weekend in Prince George once again confirmed that it's not about where you are, it's about the people you meet. We knew that Dr Dan and Ryland and the rest of the family were good people but everyone we met in PG were warm wonderful people. And believe me we met a lot of new people starting with Rylands's girlfriend Avery. I'd seen pictures of her on Facebook but this was the first time we had met. Smart and funny Her and Ryland make a great couple. Her parents, Rod and Angela, invited us into their home and made us feel welcome, They also fed us way too much delicious food and introduced us to so many interesting people.
Last blog I called Perry's wife Madam X because I couldn't remember her name. It's Lori or Laurie or Lory ...I don't know. At one point yesterday there were 4 Dave's playing pool. The Lori thing confused me because we were invited to a Grad Brunch at Avery's Grandparents house, Lori and Doug.
We were up at 9 thinking we were going to the Sunday Brunch at the Semi Luxurious Carmel Inn Restaurant. We were talking about brunch at the party yesterday. I didn't know they were talking about brunch at their house. Ryland called us at 10 to remind us. $17.50 brunch in a restaurant or $0.00 at the home of 2 wonderful people. Dr Dan came by so we could say goodbye to Julia before he took her back to her mothers.

Just before 11 we met Dr Dan at Starbucks for a quick coffee then headed up to Lori's for brunch. When we got there it just kept getting better. The Blue Jays game was on the TV and within minutes I had a hot cup of Jo in front of me. Brian and Deb from Hinton are huge Baseball fans and really know their stuff. I really had to work at the stats I was making up.
Lori made these little crepes and bacon. Bowls of fresh fruit as toppings and Bacon! I went easy on the crepes with peaches and strawberries and ate too much bacon!

We hate to eat and run but we ate and ran! I spent a few minutes with Doug checking out his new guitar. An absolutely beautiful instrument with sweet tone and quick action. I can't remember the make of guitar but I still remember how it felt when I played it...muey buenos! Doug is very green as a guitar player but truly has the passion. We traded information and FB friended each other and we will keep in touch I'm sure. I took a moment to make fun of Rylands hairstyle.

Then hugs all around and promises to see each other soon and we were gone like mill stink on a North wind.
It was a travel day. We topped up Otto at the gas station beside the semi luxurious Carmel Inn and we left Prince George in the rain. It sprinkled on and off until we hit Billy's Puddle. We had already stopped 3 times! It may have been the fifth cup of Jo or maybe the sixth, I can't recall. Basically there is a rest stop every 50 k or so. We hit them all! Some of them were quite scenic!
