Food on the train is really good....scenery through Northern Ontario leaves a little to be desired. Scrub trees and more scrub trees. Sorry to insult any arborists who might like poplar trees. Entering Manitoba was actually kind of nice. A 4 hour stop in Winnipeg left us with enough time to exercise our legs by explopring the forks of the Assiniboia and the Red Rivers and visit the "Forks Market" reminding us of the Granville Island Market but on a smaller scale.
A nasty surprise awaited us as we entered Saskatchewan. Snow!!! Yes, I said snow, and we are starting a bike ride in less than a week! A little bit more to play with our brains.
Due to abnormal freight traffic we have found ourselves 1 1/2 hours behind schedule arriving in Edmonton. But then again we will probably have to get used to being behind planned arrivals. Life has definitly "slowed to a crawl".
