Before, during, and after a fantastic meal that Wayne made, we had great conversations with our hosts. They had done a big honeymoon trip (not unlike our own) as well as many other travels and had really fun stories to tell. We hope that we can match even a of their stories with our journey is done. They also had an obvious affection for Winnipeg which was infectious and we really regretted that we weren't able to spend more time there on our rather hurried journey across the country. We will definitely be back one day to explore the city in more detail, perhaps while journeying up to another trip suggestion that had, Churchill.
Of particular interest was the amazing art which filled Wayne and Margaret's house. The art (much of it native) was all produced by artists they know including Margaret herself (who is a working artist) and Karla (Meg and I were unaware Karla was such a skilled artist). Every piece has a story, and it was really neat for Meg and I to get to compare the art of the west coast natives we saw in Vancouver to that produced on the prairies.
We were sad to leave on Thursday morning, especially when Wayne sent us off with sandwhiches made with City Bread Rye Bread (which is pretty famous in the area and was quiet good) and honey ham which a stranger in the super market had sold him on.
