We are Living in the Future


Stardate May 9, 2018

The secret name for this blog today is “OMG we are going so SLOW!”
Well we woke up this morning and were STILL in Saskatchewan!  We were supposed to be in Winnipeg this morning at 7am and perhaps we will get there by 2pm today.  We are OFFICIALLY 18 hours behind.  My prediction was that we would lose a full 24 hours by the time we got to Toronto.  We have cancelled our hotel reservation in Montreal – and only hope that we do not miss our train to Nova Scotia on Friday!  I THINK it is Wednesday today…..
All timing aside – we are having a FANTASTIC time on the train!  The food is great, the people on the train are very nice, and the scenery is awesome.  We are in the flat prairie lands – lots of wheat fields filled with ducks (well you would call them Canadian Geese).  They also have these little orange tents with white roofs and we are told they are for the leaf cutter bees.  Now I am not exactly sure what they do in these tents – but evidently they are protection of some sort.  I would post a photo – but JoAnne tells us via text to Birgit that the photos are not loading.  SIGH.
The Train People tell us that there is good wi-fi on the Toronto to Montreal train.  That might be Friday morning…
Signing off for now!
