Friday - On to Nipawin

Well after featuring as "Bran Flakes" on Dan Brann's radio breakfast show and a tour of the local hospital we left Hudson Bay and headed 2 hours north-west to Nipawin.

After presenting at the warm and welcoming Rotary Club of Nipawin this evening we look forward to a grain farm tour tomorrow afternoon and a wiener roast tomorrow evening.

Sunday and Monday are our "break" days during which we'll relax and unwind before departing for Dauphin on Tuesday.

We may be well into our travels but there's certainly no end of things to discover about this beautiful country ... for instance last night I learned about tin foil dinners, the amazing ice roads of northern Canada, Bec learned about alfalfa sprout farming through bee pollination, Hilda learned about beavers and their dam-building techniques and is very close to seeing her first snow and Matt learned ... um ... well we'll keep you posted on that one. Bob today discovered his daily quest to collect a million polished rocks could be easily achieved with $1.36 at the local bargain basement!

No really, we're all learning a lot and enjoying the adventure enormously.

Take care back home.

AH, tin foil dinners - one of the best things about summer (no dishes!). Sounds like you're having a great time. Nipawin is beautiful, go and see the golf course if you have a chance! Looking forward to seeing you in Saskatoon, have fun.
