Manitoba - Day 2

Those of you who know us are aware of our almost legendary status for changing hotel rooms. Well that didn't happen this time but we couldn't say the same about a simple car (SUV) rental. No one could get the navigational system working with my phone on the Nissan Rogue. The easy fix was to change vehicles so we were given a Ford Bronco. I don't get along well with Fords but at least it's not white...I'd hate to remind anyone of OJ. Remember when a map was good enough? 

Our adventure for the day was a visit to the Canadian Museum For Human Rights. Sadly we did not have anywhere near enough time to take it all in. Ideally I think you need a yearly pass to fully do it justice. 

Eight floors of exhibits, videos and rhetoric, all connected by ramps, it is physically challenging to get around. It strangely is not particularly disabled friendly. 

There were many lessons to be learned. I think my take away will be that no matter how well Canada has done on this front compared to others there is still much to be done.

To save some time hoping to get back to the vehicle before it got towed away, we made it with about five minutes to spare. Time for a final stop at the Burton Cummings Theatre For Performing Arts. As is typical for us we were in the right place at the wrong time. I would love to have seen Paul Reiser.

Manitoba - Day 1

 The weather was not too bad after all and we were ready to roll by 8:30AM.

This is the only part of flying I like ... looking down on our beautiful land. This is somewhere around the Soo, We did not fly over the USA at all. I believe that was by design, different from all past flights west.

It appears Winnipeg is a little behind us weather-wise. Lots of snow and ice on the approach. It was about 3 degrees when we landed, perfectly alright with me.

You have to love that airport traffic.  😅

We'll be picking up a vehicle tomorrow so that's when the fun begins. Stay tuned.  😎

Manitoba - Day 0

It will be May in a few days so time for another adventure. We're leaving tomorrow for three weeks in Manitoba...another province we have visited briefly and passed through in the past but never gave it any true recognition. We're just about ready to leave at noon tomorrow. That's an early morning airport pick up then off we go.

Too bad we're not leaving today because it had a beautiful start. Tomorrow's forecast is far less enticing with rain forecast. I don't like flying at the best of times so fortunately it's a relatively short flight at under 3 hours.

As before, I will attempt to post each day, dependent on internet service. We're not going to be in many hotels so it may be an issue. You'll be informed so please join us.    😎
