Day 32,33,34,35 June 29, Winnipeg

And a happy Canada Day to everyone. We have arrived in Winnipeg and are taking two days to rest our legs,repair bikes and to be generally feted by friends and family.
David Johns Cook's Creek friends,Alan and Jane Burpee, provided us with a delicious BBQ last night,as well as a tour of the local museum which gave us an insight into the early settlement of the area. Friedly Manitoba is living up to it's reputation,as we were treated royally by these fine folk.
Although our time in Winnipeg is short, we have all taken the opportunity to see as much of the city as we can and of course to make the obligatory visit to MEC.
Serge and his son Stefan (friends of David J.) will be joining us for the next part of the trip with their destination being Toronto. We are looking forward to them being part of the team.
All in all, I believe that this collection of old bods is holding up reasonably well. All that clean living is finally starting to pay off. We are looking forward to continuing the journey east and experiencing new terrain, which is just around the corner. Our little mosquito friends are starting to make their presence felt but it is nothing that a little deet won't fix. The forecast is for 30 deg.tomorrow but a nice westerly breeze will more than offset any heat. -- TTFN --Pat!!
