A NERVE-RACKING DAY

moments before leaving
Not long after we left we thought we might be seeing Edmonton sooner than expected.  The truck appeared to be overheating so we limped our way to Ponoka to have a new thermostat installed. (I guess Justins need of having 2 or 3 extras of EVERYTHING has already come in handy)  As it turns out we think the temperature gauge is just out of wack.  All in all the truck preformed pretty good - although it did take us nine and a half hours to get to Cochrane! - this is going to be a really slow drive to Panama, we may be grey by the time we get home.

our first repair shop 
We could of never prepared for what we experienced today - it is such a strange feeling to drive away from your life!!  We have daydreamed about this for so long and today it became a scary yet exciting reality!

Day number one was not really what we expected we thought we would be a lot further down the road - but its okay we have a year to do this!!!!
