We got in on Friday night and saw the Manitoba Moose play- great game- great team. On Saturday we went to the mint, which was closed. Then we went to the zoo, which was pretty lame. Sorry, but I live mere miles from one of the greatest zoos in this country, so it takes a lot to impress me.
From there we went to the French Quarters, which turned out to be one building. After that, we headed off to the Forks, which had no outdoor activities whatsoever, since apparently April in Winnipeg is not any closer to spring. We shopped at the market.
We went to Osbourne village- most everything was closed.
We were bored and went to see a movie.
We left early the next day. Don't think I will ever go back to Winnipeg. The traffic is AWFUL! At least we have turning lanes down here.
So anyway- explain the sandwich boards.
