More Prairies to Winnipeg, Manitoba

Leaving Moose Jaw around lunchtime, we set off on the 650km journey to Winnipeg to see friends we met in Vietnam – Wes and Amanda. We spent a day or so hanging out with them reminiscing on old times of our 3 weeks of travel together in 2006. We enjoyed walking around Winnipeg and seeing downtown. Winnipeg has many funky neighbourhoods that seem to be busy and ‘happening’. It also has a large French community so we had some great Poutine. Originating from Montreal, traditional poutine is a French Canadian dish made of chips (with real potato, not skinny fries), thick gravy and cheese curds. Not exactly very healthy, but really really gooood! Great to see Wes and Amanda and catch up with them. * Mush
