The Hospitality of Drumheller Buffalo

So we've arrived in good hands in winnipeg. Tuesday seemed to take forever, as we waited and waited for our van to get fixed. By 7 we'd had dinner at the Fischer and Lynch residences and we were off on the road for Saskatoon. The weather had finally gotten better. sunny and clear, unlike the cloudy rain for the 3 days previous, that the locals all claimed we brought from Van city.

The setting was ideal for my introduction to the prairies. Clear sunny skies that would later set up a perfect sunset. Stopping for gas in Drumheller, we decided to climb a Hoo Doo. Josh originally recommended that we make the ascent, but as I got to the top i noticed that we had lost josh at the bottom and it was only Shane and I who remained on the top of the beast. The view was intense, that's all i can say.

As we were leaving a group of youth were staring at our van as we crossed the parking lot. I noticed that one girl was eagerly gripping the bottom of her t-shirt as she waited for us to pass by. Surely enough, as i'd expected, the girl flashed us and man... was that a privelidge? This is the life of a travelling musician perhaps.

Our trip through the prairies was filled with buffalo sightings (real buffalo, not drumheller 'buffalo'), long open flat fields, the unofficial naming of our tour (GUYS MONTH OUT!) and our van (yet to be released as we are still arguing about it) and a stop in Saskatoon where April, an old acquaintance of mine from high school took us in for the night. We are very lucky to have so many people across the country helping us out.

We arrived in Winnipeg late last night where Corey's friends Mike and Sarah and their lovely children Finn and Nolan took us in. Their hospitality, like everywhere we've stayed so far, has been awesome. One thing i've noticed though, is that it seems that everywhere we go people want to load us up with booze. It's like "oh the band is here, time to party". Which i love, though i don't know how long this will last as every where we are people want to party. When do we get a rest? No scratch that. We're fine,

Keep it coming,
Dom
