《Cross Canada Coast to Coast (CCCC — Day 1)》 __ Bonbon Hu (65)

Coquilhalla highway

Going north on the Coquilhalla highway at the summit, there was still snow on the road side. Five days ago, it actually snowed a few mm of snow on the summit. So, within a few hours, I was traveling from Vancouver at sea level to 1,475 m elevation at the summit.

For the past two weeks, I had to entertain, educate and train a person twenty-seven years of my junior on a tour of HK, Taiwan and Shenzhen.

…and….I wrapped the trip up successfully at the end of the 13^th day.

“Mrs. Ho, Please bring me to Japan next time. I will go travelling with you.” !!

Dental School, an Edmonton pediatric dentist Dr. Dennis Bedard. He just stepped down from his position as Professor and Chair of the Pedodontics Department at the school.
