We'll be off pedalling again soon, but we've had a terrific stay in Winnipeg. We stayed with a friend of the Taylor's, Aaron, who opened up his house to us, giving us a wonderful home away from home, and even one of his car's so we could get around town.
Yesterday afternoon Aaron took us on a great trip around Winnipeg with a walk through a huge park (I think it was called Assiniboine Park?) that had sculptures and a cricket field...drove around the University of Manitoba...saw Louis Riel's grave site and this huge cathedral that had burned down, but they had left the remaining walls standing. When we arrived, the bells were just starting to ring...it was almost surreal. At this point, we were all pretty hungry, so we ended up at a delicious Japanese restaurant for dinner. A terrific ending to a terrific day. (Thanks so much Aaron!!)
Looks like we've got a beautiful, sunny, warm day to ride...I'm really looking forward to it. We're headed for Elma, MB at 100km or even possibly Rennie, MB at 136km depending on winds, how we're feeling and what time we get away.
Aaron's pancake breakfast is just about ready, so I've gotta get going for now.
Excitement builds...
