Jul. 5th, 2012 09:33 amAh man, I had a great day yesterday.
Rode into city centre to do some running around, and stopped at a little 50's diner for lunch. Mmm poutine (with real cheese curds too) and chocolate milkshake. So good, and so damn filling, I could only eat half of the poutine. I'm definitely going back there, and probably dragging someone in with me to share the tastiness!
Then, as promised, I checked out one of the museums. Since I was meeting D (formally known as 'the Maybe' and M, and I really don't like using either of those when I'm actually here and trying this thing out - seems disrespectful) at his place to help with some renos, I decided to hit up the transportation museum since it was right across the street for him. It was pretty cool. ( They went through the history and challenges faced by early transportation methods in some of the most rugged and punishing conditions to get through )
I'm glad I went, because it's certainly sparked my interest in the history of the region. It'll be cool to check out some of the other museums in town.
Heh, but man I almost died riding D's bike to the museum. HINT: D's place and the museum are at a much higher elevation than my home and city centre. I'm a prairie girl, we don't do hills. My legs staged a revolt this morning when I tried biking home. Wasn't too bad once I got to the downhill section (I've never ridden that fast on a bike in my life!), but getting over the small incline to get to that section was torture! I am so out of shape, heh.
Alright, time to get moving (despite protest from my legs). Cheers all!
