Welcome to Manitoba. I encountered, quite possibly, the friendliest Quebocois that I had ever met, here. Like me, they were taking pictures of the province welcome signs that they passed.
A note, here: Driving the bypass around Winnipeg (no pictures) was quite an experience. One was driving around this HUMONGOUS circle, in a totally rural prairie--with views of the "big city", just in view toward the center. It was a "set-up" (for lack of a better word to call it) so simple, functional, clean, and yet beautiful--that only Canadians could've come up with it.
This is a _real_ sign. I'm not really sure, now just where I took this one. -Was it just bit north of Portage la Praire?
When I crossed into Saskatchewan this time, it was the first time I had been there--in 32 years!! -You can be sure that I was less than pleased--when I found out that the picture didn't "come out." :( Grrrr. The amount of bugs was . . . indescribable. :P
And here are . . . the world's largest Canadian dollars! Wheeee.
I forget what town these were in--but they were the town's largest attraction. -Sort of makes one think of Fireside, Iowa, eh? :)
On to pictures of wonderful Mozart, Saskatchewan.
