as promised here is some video and shots from 
the race this year...you may remember from last year but i got some more shots form different spots. the video is specially for you chris..... some proof of the inverted helicopter....it's kinda hard to see but i'm sure you get the point... the shot a couple below is of 
the malev jet liner that was flown thro
ugh downtown at just above building level, was quite the sight to see so low and close to the parliament. since yesterday was the biggest national holiday of the year there was also tons of stuff happening around the city. we also headed up to the castle district for the folk art festival, a great place to see tons of cool local handcrafts and eat our new favorite "langos bread". oven fried pizza type with all sorts of toppings. the evening also featured a huge fireworks show which we have heard is really good. but we will never know because for 
the second year in a row we got stormed out. (chistina and beeni will remember this clearly, or maybe
you chose to forget it!) last year we had no notice but this year we had some... so we were able to get under a castle wall....flash backs form 
last year....after 1/2 hour we thought it was over so we began to walk down to the river....well we had to run for cover and found the only place the tunnel on the end of the chain bridge...probably as long a massey tunnel for you vancouverites...it was packed from end to end a couple thousand people at least...all fearing the worst like last year but other than rain it was fine. we had a good time laughing as we ran through the huge puddles and streams flowing down the streets dashing for the subway. good times and memories!
a few notes to those who will find faults in this post (vicky and chris) i'm starting to think these are our only two readers....well anyways yes the food is quite good even if it doesn't look so perfect and already has bites out of it and secondly upon closer inspection i see there was room in the middle of the tunnel, this would have been helpful to know at the time as we stood shoulder to shoulder with strangers and took pictures of them! and maybe it wasn't quite as long as the massey tunnel but who's counting and i've been known to embellish once in a while?!

and it was 3 bites to be exact and the brown thing on the top was unknown and got flicked off....we won't even begin to describe the girl who was making it! let's just say not canadian food safe..... but they sure were good! (the food that is)
Hi guys, don't be discouraged... there are probably others like me... I read your blog all the time, love reading about all your adventures and how God is always there to help you rise to the challenges that come your way... and I pray for you often. Forgive me, just don't feel comfortable posting comments. :) Hope you enjoy the conference and Luis Palau... nice not to need a translator, eh?!
Be blessed. Love, Lorna
I loved the airshow footage! 'Copter flippin action was extremely cool. I'd like to witness the airliner cruising by at building top level.
(Could you imagine the same through downtown Vancouver? Security. SECURITY !?!) Additionally, Maverick 'n' Goose wish to now be referred to as Langos 'n' Weenie; a 'cut' above the rest.

Cheers Klassens!
