Today we stayed in Regina the capital of Saskatchewan. We had dinner a restaurant named "Crave" which was a very fun place in an old historic building. Our waitress asked us why were going to spend a day in Regina. She was going to school in Vancouver BC at Simon Fraser. Basicly she thought Regina was a great place not to be. It gets very cold here in the winter like 50 degrees below and very hot in the summer 90 to 100 degrees. Anyway I didn't want to tell our waitress the real reason we were stopping here on Sunday. Truth be know we found a fun restaurant/bar to watch the Women's World Cup final soccer game between the USA and Japan. We found the perfedt place the Copper Kettle, owned by an elderly Greek gentleman . We had a wonderful lunch and settled in to watch the game. Wow great game, too bad the USA lost. We had fun talking about Greece while watching the game and left feeling like we had a great time in spite of the loss.
It was hotter than blazes but we decided to go check out Regina anyway. We visited the provincial museum and the Royal Canadian Mounty Heritage Centre, which also functions as their training facility. All the mounties get their training here. In contrast to the provincial musem, which wasn't much to write home about, this place was fantastic. They had wonderful historic displays with atifacts and equpiment. I bagged my first tourist prize, a RCMP T-Shirt, yey. Maybe if I get pulled over while wearing it I get points, and maybe only a warning......NOT!
Hey tommorow we are off to Swan Lake in Manitoba!
Lets go.
THE COPPER KETTLE RESAURANT
WESCAN PARK IN REGINA, THE LARGEST URBAN PARK IN THE WORLD
Only problem there is not a darn thing in the park, it's mainly fields and a couple of museums, along with the University of Saskatchewan....still an interesting hot place.
