On Sunday, I went out to Gimli to enjoy some Icelandic hospitality. The place was hopping!
As enjoyable as the village itself was the drive there. There's something about a prairie drive that I find amazingly therapeutic. Mountains - great. Forests - lovely. You just can't beat the prairie, though, for a peaceful summer drive.
Monday was spent at Assiniboine Downs for the Manitoba Derby. I caught the first four races.
The Downs is an incredible place to people watch! The crowd ranges in age from 9 to 90 and from business-suited executives to hip-hop teenagers. It's the strangest mix of people you will ever see together in one place sharing the same passion!
The price is right, too. Free parking and free admission.
I only do little bets and at the end of the day, (not including lunch), came home just $3.25 down.
Not bad for a great afternoon !
I also checked out the Zoo to see Debby and comrades, (more on Debby later). Everyone was in fine form !
