Tourist Day in Dawson Creek

Paige is writing today’s blog. I’ve recovered from yesterday’s illness. Whatever it was, it was AWFUL! I pretty much slept the whole day and suffered from aches and chills. Today, however, I woke up feeling mostly back to normal. Yippee, because we planned on playing tourist today.
We started the day with a stop for coffee at Tim Horton’s (found out that Tim Horton was a former hockey player who apparently passed away some time ago). We then hit the museum and walked around the town.
Look at the white sign above the right window.

One museum showed a documentary about the creation of the

Alaskan Highway

which was very informative: the entire road was done in less than a year, during 1942.  It was a war effort, which was begun shortly after Pearl Harbor was attacked.

Because we are in British Columbia, we are caught up in the media hype for the hockey Stanley Cup Playoffs which has the Vancouver Canucks battling the Boston Bruins.  Game 7, the final game, will be played tomorrow night.  Probably 75% of any news program focuses on this game.  We found this sign on a business today:

By way of explanation, Boston Pizza is a large chain  throughout the country, and they are modifying their own signs to support a Canadian victory over a US team.
