Hooray Hooray for the eighth of May!

Today the secret name of this blog is “Someday we will actually get to Toronto”
I am super not sure of the time – my computer says 11:13am but we just had lunch so I am thinking it is after 1pm….  We had a time change in Jasper – at something like midnight.  There was a large tour group get off in Jasper – about 150 people.  We are now 10 hours behind schedule and evidently we lose time on this stretch of track because of all the freight trains which take priority. 
We are not making each other crazy yet since there are plenty of places to hide on this train.  AT THIS MOMENT we are all sitting in the Observation Deck while the train is sitting on a siding in the town of Viking, Alberta.  Soon we will get to Saskatoon – and we get a 10 minute stop at the train station.  We all actually got off this morning in Edmonton and walked from our train car back to the dining car.  It is much easier to walk outside than through the corridors of the train.  That was our big thrill of the day.
