Day 2: Into the Unknown

N 49°53'36"
W97°08'57"

Canada is like a cross between America and Europe. The landscape and structure of the city is more American, but the feel of the city is more European. Arrived in Winnipeg just after 6pm central time. We are staying at a Hostile International. It is actually a really cool place. Cheap rooms, wireless internet, and it is downtown. We has a couple of pints down at a local Irish Pub called King's Beard and stuck around to check out the band playing on a Sunday night. Met a really interesting bartender named Francis. It was his birthday, today. 60 years young with the feistiness of an Irishman. Interesting character. So far day 2 of the expedition has been the most interesting. We are staying in another one of these in Edmonton tomorrow, so I might have more to write about. For now, I need get some sleep.
