We left this morning in SUNSHINE! Four lane road and sunshine, we didn't know how to act. I didn't have to sing the rain songs. You know, Raindrops keep falling on my head, Green eyes crying in the rain and Who'll stop the rain. Okay, so you listen to ipod I sing very loud. The thing I love about travelling on a bike is that people always come and talk to you. We meet all kinds of people on our travels. In a car, people don't care where you come from or are going. We stopped at Red Barn in Broadview and then on to Brandon with a stop at a visitor center for stickers of the province. We saw real bad flooding in this area, our waitress at Albert's' told us that the people in Minot,ND blame Manitoba for the flooding. This is a great restaurant with awesome prime rib. We highly recommend this as we do the Super 8 which is across the street from the restaurant. She went on to explain they will damage cars with Manitoba plates. Everyone has frayed nerves here to go with the exhaustion of 4-6 foot high sandbags around businesses. No real pictures

today because it was a"hurry day"with not much scenery except fields.Good news have not needed the bed bug patches we bought. Yes, there are patches. I don't know if you put it on yourself to send them to your bed partner or you put it on your partner so they are attracted away from you.
I did find a couple of German Biers at the liquor store. Seems that they have a beer store that has the normal Bud Light, Molson, Cours Light, etc but no craft beer. So off to the real bier store and was well rewarded.

Deb and Charlie traveling to Alaska on a pair of BMW R1200GS. This is Deborah's first trip to Alaska on her bike. Charlie went on his 60th birthday 3 years ago so for Deb's 60th birthday she wanted to do the same! Charlie has been riding for 41 years, starting out on Harleys. Deborah has ridden for 25 years always on a BMW. His first bike was a 1963 FLH full dresser. Her first was a BMW75/6 and she still has it. Mostly, it is a show bike now, but fun to putt around on for a few hundred miles. Charlie bought his first BMW in 1984 and abandoned Harleys three years later. Our style of riding lend... full info
