Last Day - Boo Hoo!!!


Who knew McDonalds had wifi – but here I am.
So yesterday we passed the longitudinal centre of Canada. I guess I've pretty much covered much of the eastern half – maybe it's time to cover the rest.
If you ever drive through Dryden Ontario, you may notice they have a peculiar penchant for weird coloured cars. We saw 2 pink cars, a turquoisy blue one and one that was lime green. These were older cars and I'm sure those colours were not on the paint chips when they were new.
We spent the last couple of days at Falcon Lake, Manitoba – a very beautiful place with a naked beach.. A naked beach differs from a nude beach because the latter is where you swim naked and the former is when there is no one on the beach at all. Hard to believe such a lovely place is not better used.
This afternoon we arrived in Winnipeg and had a great visit with Russell and Linda, Roan and Kieran and grandma and grandpa, Meah and Peter. Another encounter that wouldn't have happened if it weren't for this trip. They have a great house in an older neighbourhood close to downtown.
Tonight, we've stopped in Neepawa and this is the last night of my trip. We saw our first mileage sign to Saskatoon just before we stopped, so I guess it's home tomorrow.
I finally have my moose signs figured out. The Quebec moose looks like he's the king of the world, the one from Ontario looks like he is in a bad mood and you'd better stay out of his way and the one from New Brunswick looks like you just caught him doing something really naughty.
To be continued.....
