Evacuation, Friends & Massage

In case you missed it, we have been evacuated from our community here in Alberta due to all of the wildfires. While the entire event has definitely been traumatic to say the least, the volunteers who are looking after us are absolutely amazing! 

We have been provided with a hotel (courtesy of our town), any incidentals we forgot our couldn't get to - as well as 3 meals a day.

The people in our temporary community have been friendly, welcoming and supportive. Even our mail has been redirected here.

3 incredible meals a day put on by volunteers

Some friends invited us to their RV park for the afternoon yesterday which then became dinner. We visited for several hours before heading back to our hotel. Note the Gazebo, it'll be important later.

Time to chill

The sun was setting on our way home... That is the red dot.

Brad had a massage appointment set up for today but as we're evac'd that was out the window. Except yesterdays friends are also friends with our masseuse. She offered her gazebo which offers 4 sided curtains for privacy. 

It couldn't have worked out better. Brad had his massage and I had a massage and then our friend had one, however, her husband was called out to block the highways before he could get his massage... not fair, at all.

We even ordered Chinese take-away for lunch.

After returning to our room another couple invited us to supper with them and we were off again.

We have just returned to our room and will get to relax for the evening.

Word is that it will be a few days at least before we are allowed to return home, hopefully we will still have one!
