July 9 Smithers British Columbia

                                          In Smithers they keep their rabbits on a leash

                                          The Dutch flag flies proudly in British Columbia

                                       Oh man I eat too much  I'm bigger then a horse

                                                              Downtown Smithers

Yes folks we have found the number one cutesy British Columbian town. It's Smithers. We woke up and the sun was shining so we decided to stay here for the day and do "the chores". The chores are the laundry and wash the RV. Our RV has attracted every dead bug in Alaska the Yukon and B C. And if that wasn't enough imagine the dust and mud we accumulated over 7000 miles. We went to the farmers market and walked around and observed the produce and arts and crafts.  We bought a rhubarb pie and cookies.  Only the healthy stuff for us.
After our chores and the market we went shopping on main street and ellen found nirvana. To most women that would be a clothing boutique or jewelry store. But not ellen. She found a store that sells Dutch food. They had dropjes, hagelslag, cookjes and Nederland vles. For those who don't know Dutch that's Dutch licorice chocolate sprinkles cookies and meat. Those are Ellens favorite foods.  For Michelle and Valerie we bought Stroopwafels. Ken and John got nothing!!!!We drove back to our campground and I am now sitting by the river writing my blog.  Heading east tomorrow and just found ot that our road is washed out.  I hope the RV can swim.
