When we got back to our hotel, there was a jar of some special honey waiting for us. Esther and I just love being at the Fairmont Hotel on the Gold floor. While Merle was having breakfast we made friends with Marie Paz Natividad, Rhosan Estoy, David Koetke and Colleen Bothor in the Gold Lounge. Gee are they all so cool! At one point Merle, Eunice and I manned...I mean womaned the desk.
We went to the Winnipeg Art Gallery at 300 Memorial Blvd. It was a pretty big art museum but not as huge as the Met or MOMM in New York. There were certainly enough galleries to view with both the painted art and sculptures...as you can see.
Then we went to an area called The Forks with lots of stores, food places and stuff like that. Merle was getting a spa treatment while we walked around. Manitoba tourism has an office there with some cool exhibits.
In the evening we went to St. Boniface Cathedral's cemetery for Theatre in the Cemetery. Stories down in costume about French, Metis and Mantoban history. The mosquitoes were so bad that we got chicken skin from it!
