Canada Day - Winnipeg

Day 9

We got to Winnipeg shortly after noon. We met my second cousin Ada McNeill (and her son Jeff) and they drove us all over Winnipeg. We saw the mint we stopped at the Forks Market which was alive with Canada Day celebrations, but did not stay for any of the many concerts. We walked over to Portage and Main (what a huge intersection). Each corner has a bank on it; then of course the trivia question is - which major bank is not there. We then went to diner at Ada's Mom's (Laura Burr, Laura helped me catch up on a lot of my genealogy) and met Ada's husband Keith, who is a fastball umpire as well, so he and I had lots to talk about. This is the furthest west we have ever been while driving
