Edmonton

So I just spent the last three days in Edmonton with Constance and it was great! I finally got to meet her roommate Bronwen whom I have heard an awful lot about. Also got to see Mike again which was fun cause he is an awesome guy.

We arrived on Wednesday night and didn't get up to much since I was pretty exhausted from having driven 11 hours. We just hung out and chatted which was all I could really manage.
On Thursday Jasper and I were on our own as Constance still had to work. It was about 30 degrees outside and we went for a walk along the river and then went to the legislature building which has a shallow pool out front that you can play in. Jasper went on a tour of the building but 3 just chilled outside in the shade by the pool enjoying the last 30 degree weather I will see for a while I am sure. We headed back to Constance's to meet her after work and broke out the bottles of wine around 4. Thd rest of the night is a mess of wine drinking and playing Apples to Apples which is a pretty awesome game.

On Friday, Constance took us around Edmonton a bit. We went to the Telus World of Science which was a lot of fun. We also went out to her parents place for a bbq. Adam arrived that night and we had another night of drinking and Apples to Apples. That game is so addictive!

Saturday, Adam and I spent the day at the West Edmonton mall which is just insanity. I think we must have walked around looking at things for two hours before we even did any shopping. They have a roller coaster, water park, shooting range, pirate ship, sea lions, casino, submarines, ice rink, pretty much anything you can imagine. Not to mention all the stores! After the mall, we went out for dinner with Constance, Mike, Bronwen, and Jasper. Then we headed out to a hotel by the highway since we were setting off at 6 the next morning.

We actually left at about 5.45 and hopefully we can make good time to yellowknife!!
