Spoiler Alert!

We're in Montreal!... and have been for like 3 weeks.

Sorry for the super delayed updates to the blog. Internet access for the later part of our trip was super hard to come by as regional parks haven't walked into the 20th century yet. They're really making it hard on those who aren't going to the woods to escape urban life. Also, being unemployed is exhausting and takes up way too much time for such activities as updating blogs. My friend Tamara (who has the most amazing blog, it makes me laugh out loud... a LOT. Check her out. Seriously, do it) talks about how hard it is to keep up with her blog all the time and I never really appreciated what she was talking about until recently.


So where did we leave off... I guess on how much Thunder Bay sucks? Wait hold up. I haven't told you anything since EDMONTON! How is that even possible. Okay so back to Saskskaksatoon. It was all that Cam said and more. We went camping over the weekend and it was a lot of fun. Here's the Cole's Notes:

The drive out of town we drove past about 50 kms of trains

And a town called Young. Like a boy named Sue, it wasn't quite what I expected. 

We ate about a million bush pies.

Kept on top of our health with government approved medical examinations.


 Swam in water saltier than the Dead Sea - no joke

Made sure to share our food and drinks 

Noted the highest point in Saskatchewan 

(Actually this is the highest point. They turned a land fill into a ski "hill" - equal parts sad and gross)


Before we knew it, it was time to round up the kitten man from the top of the cupboards and GTFO. 

Pick your evil.

We decided that we hate ourselves, so we drove through Regina on our way to Manitoba. Despite being called, "the city that rhymes with fun" by every 6 year old ever... there is no fun to be had there. At all.

In fact we drove through it about as fast as we could. Oh, also we downloaded some sweet new icons to the Garmin while we were in Saskatoon with internet access. Tome, I feel you'd really appreciate this. We also have an X-Wing and seriously contemplated buying the Vader voice for $10. It might still happen.


So we booked it through Regina and took the Winnipeg by-pass. Thank lord because we really wanted to have nothing to do with that place. They must pay people to live there.

 

I'm getting tired, so that's it for now. I promise to update again within a more reasonable amount of time. Sifting through photos takes a surprisingly long time.

  1. Its true, the only people who move to Manitoba moved there on REALLY bad advice. Trust me, I know. Those who stay are bed wetters, the mad, the deranged, and of course, Zombies.

    Fortuitously you missed Brandon, which is even worse.
