Made it to Edmonton!

We are winding down day 6 of our trip (crazy!) and we have successfully made it through three states and we landed in our fourth province yesterday when we stopped in Edmonton. At this point we have officially (and accurately) been deemed couch surfers as we moved from our family accommodations is Winnipeg, to Jackie’s friend Janet’s place in Saskatoon and onto her other friend Mike’s place here in Edmonton. Everyone has been amazing hosts, we’ve gotten very lucky. But back to where Jackie left off…

I feel the need to a) post a picture of the massive, deliciousness provided by Winnipeg’s apple pancake and b) emphasize how friggin’ scary the Spongebob roller coaster in Mall of America was. Like… next time Chris brings home a Spongebob DVD (which he so often does) I will seriously think twice before watching it.


Moving on.. we really enjoyed our stay in Saskatoon. We went to Earl’s for dinner, checked out the Fringe festival (well we saw the buskers on the street, most impressive one being a 10 year old boy belting out House of the Rising Sun. Least impressive being the British woman in a cheerleader outfit asking for $20 donations), then we finished the night at the appropriately named Calories for some tea and desserts. We woke up, went for a run in the lovely park and departed Saskatchewan and headed to Alberta.

And along the way… A canola field photo shoot was in order!!













That’s right, we love the Praries and all the flat fields it offers. It’s just so pretty! All those people who warned us it would be boring were wrong. It’s not boring. Also, I noticed we may be easily amused by things… like canola, so that might help.


I will continue about Edmonton tomorrow. Stories of the beast of a mall and my crazy friend will have to wait…
