Kenora to Regina - Day 3

Well, today was easy driving compared to yesterday. It took us about 40 minutes to get from Kenora to the border of Manitoba. We sailed through Manitoba with only a couple of pit stops for gas and biology breaks. Took the ring road around Winnipeg and bypassed it completely. No offence.

The TransCanada was under construction for a significant portion of the drive through Manitoba, and that slowed us down considerably. We would have made it to Regina in much better time than our nine hours if we could have taken advantage of the 110 km/h speed limit.

The light was really weird as we crossed from the Saskatchewan border and went towards Regina. It felt like dusk, six o'clock-ish, but it was only 2:00 in the afternoon (4:00 for us because we are still pretty much on Toronto time). If I were an artist, I would have stopped the car, got out my easel, and painted the sky, because it was covered with so many different types of clouds. I am hoping to upload some videos showing the prairie clouds, but for some reason, the uploading software turns them 90 degrees. Go figure.

I am too tired to start mucking around with technical stuff, so I will get back to it tomorrow.

Tomorrow we head for Banff, and I hope that today's Calgary snow show was only temporary. If we decide that we love Banff and want to get to know it better, we will stay a second day. This philosophy ties in beautifully with the name of this blog. The only time constraint we really have is that Shirley has to be at the Vancouver airport in time to fly home next week.
