God Bless America

Yorkton, SK Canada to Fargo, ND, USA!

It was another gorgeous, pretty short, pretty boring day. The drive was easy, and the scenery lovely. It all looks the same, but lovely nonetheless.

We didn’t sleep in too late, as getting OUT of SK was a priority. We ate some snacks on the road for breakfast. People were out on their farms and in their fields doing Saturday farmer stuff- like burning fields, and circling cattle, and other important Saturday farmer stuff.

Tim’s HI: Coming back to America and going to Olive Garden for dinner. The food at Olive Garden was great! Being in America, going to a real city, with real food, at real restaurants feels great!!

Tim’s LO: Winnipeg, MB. Very disappointing. I had my expectations (my first problem), and it did not live up to my expectations.

Advice to Keith re: Winnipeg. Lookout! There’s a certain sandwich shop (starts with a “Qu”, and end’s with a “izno’s”) that does not use the right bread. They’ll serve you a Torpedo bread sandwich- the skinny stuff that you didn’t ask for-- and charge you for the regular bread!

Also, they might put a hair in your wife’s sandwich (Sorry Cappy-must be a MB thing).

Faith’s HI: Getting back to the U.S. feels GREAT! I was so excited to be able to use my cell phone again. I got to make a few calls, and feel like I’m catching up with some people. AND- no debit card issues today! Too bad I winced every time I swiped…like that’s helpful!

My VISA advice to Keith: in Canada, Visa is pronounced “vissssa” (with a soft ‘i’ like in Tim); whereas Tim is pronounced “Teeeem”

Faith’s LO: Happening as I type. We’ve been in the hotel for about 30 minutes, and the phone next door has been ringing the entire time. Tim called the front desk to let them know slash request something be done about it.

This is genius…they said, “We’ll call up there and see if anyone answers.”

What?!?!?! That’s the problem!*sigh* I’m going for a walk.
