108 - Western Canada Road Trip - Day 5 (Kenora - Winnipeg - Brandon - 452km ) - Happy CanaDream Day!


Big day today! Canada turned 157, 

which meant we could take full advantage of all the tats and pins from Grammy,

and most importantly...we finally made it out of Ontario!

This Google Image is only slightly better than the last minute phone-fumbling flyby that Britt captured.
Hoo-ray!!!

We didn't fare much better at the "(Longitudinal) Centre of Canada"
Which looked more like this when we drove by:

We took in some Canada Day events at the (fortunately indoor) Forks Market (where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet) in downtown Winnipeg.


An eclectic mix of tasty snacks,
Lechon Kawali

Maple Bacon Taffy 

cultural dance, 
(in the parking garage)

and...a drag show!
(Happy Pride, too, everyone!🌈)

We rounded out the day with a few minutes of dry skies in Brandon.

"Guy's don't throw it to me for a bit, I'm practicing my Paquita Variations."


And the infinite soundtrack under that curly mop plays on...

Until the rains started up (again) and we retreated to the safety of the RV.


Livin' the CanaDream!
