Today I left Brooks at about 7:30am and arrived in Moosomin, Sask. around 4:30pm. I could have carried on to Brandon, Man., but why bother? It will be a comparatively short drive to Winnipeg tomorrow. When I started driving this morning, the temperature was 4c., it was raining and the wind was blowing furiously. In Moosomin it was still windy but sunny and 18c, so after settling my stuff in a room in the Hotel 6, I went for a walk. The wind practically blew what little hair I have off my head. But after a day in the car it felt good to walk into it. Actually, I was mainly stiff. The drive was not bad. I find the vastness of the prairies as magnificent as the mountains, and at least today the horizon was far away, so I could see miles of gold and green meeting the blue and white sky in the distance. I also enjoyed listening to CKUA Radio as I went through Alberta and into Sask.
Now I'm at The Red Barn Restaurant, close to my one night home in Moosomin, waiting for dinner. It must be the only place open in town because it's full.
