Ontario......

Ontario is a big place. After almost three weeks of travelling we finally crossed the border into Manitoba, the difference in scenery was dramatic. Gone are the lakes and forest, given way to flat prairie land. The roads are straight and forever. Someone told us you can watch your dog run away for three days! I don't have a dog............. The weather has improved though, clear blue skies and warm breeze, still only about 18c but better than the snow two days ago. Plenty of signs warning us to be "Bear aware" and there are wolves about, wish i had a dog...... We pulled into a "chip stand" for lunch, hot dog (it didn't run away) chips in cheese and gravy and some drinks. Our debit card and credit card refused to play with the machine so the chip lady, Debbie, said looks like lunch is on me! What a lovely lady, turns out she fosters problem children, what an angel. Were staying on this site for three days before we head for Winnipeg and a tour of the national mint, I wonder if they give away samples? As i dont have to hitch up the trailer in the morning, I think it might be time for a beer and watch the sun go down...cheers.
