I wasn't able to blog last night, so here is a two day update. These last couple of days have been long driving days, heading east across Canada on the trans-Canada highway, aka Hwy 1. I am really amazed at the space. The mountains are behind us and we're driving through miles and miles (I should say kilometers and kilometers) of wide open spaces with tiny towns along the way, and very occasionally a big city. Last night we stayed in a large city, Regina, Saskatchewan, at the grand old Saskatchewan hotel. We were on the 7th floor with a great view of the city. We dined in their elegant restaurant last night and had breakfast in their slightly more casual (fewer crystal chandeliers) brunch room this morning. I had banana bread French toast in case you're interested. We didn't leave there until about 11am. It's not the kind of place you want to rush away from.
Today we drove from Regina to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Our hotel here is a Fairfield Inn. They are always very nice, but not elegant. However, my wonder spouse found a German restaurant for supper where we enjoyed delicious Hungarian goulash and spaetzle for supper. It was a very casual place called Sam's (not very German sounding) but the food was excellent.
Tomorrow we are heading to Thunder Bay, Ontario. I am certainly seeing more of Canada than I have ever seen before.
