Our short day today got quite long… very blustery and cold day (high 13 degrees in Winnipeg, 26 degrees in Vancouver), though the wind was mainly at our backs.
Breakfast - peaches and yoghurt in our room, photo ops at the bridge. I did a little cycle tour of Souris, then we set off. Some crop damage from the heavy rain last night. Lunch at Wawanesa, home of the insurance company, which still has quite a presence there. Then on to this farm B+B, cupboards full of evidence of little visitors to the building.
For a little amusement we took a quick spin up to Spruce Woods Park, the ancient sandy delta of the Assiniboine River, reduced to 4 mi sq north of here. We walked in the dunes, wonderful strange desert ecosystem with sand and ducks.
10 km back to town, dinner at the motel cafe, then back to our B+B.
