Alberta-Saskatchewa-Manitoba

WoW!  Once you depart the Canadian Rockies, you are pretty quickly in the flatlands.  We just drove two long car days (7- 11 hours)  from Alberta through Saskatchewan and Manitoba across fields:  sometimes flat, sometimes rolling (like Walla Walla) mostly yellow or brownscapes but occasionally greenish. We cannot tell what crops they are growing. Trans-Canadian Highway is pimpled by petrol stations and tiny towns.

Today was so happy:  no one forgot their cell phone in a washroom which was lost for a couple hours until turned into the Town Office; no one knocked a traffic sign off its pole trying to parallel park to get a pick up general delivery at the post office in a big city; no one destroyed brick tiles off a pillar in a cheap hotel-check-in-driveway; no one lost their wallet--thinking back to two hours ago where we last bought gas/coffee; no one fretted about whether there will be availability at the last campground in sight before 9pm...... NOTHING like that.  Today was SO GOOD.

Very near Regina, Canada   (rhymes with vagina)

Compare to Walla Walla, WA
