Saskatoon!!!
So Saskatoon was pretty interesting. The train rolled inaround 3 am and I ended up at my hotel around 330. I slept in a little that morning. The train was great but it's not a bed. I walked around that day and found the delta bessborough. I decided that checking out of the senator and into one of he original CP hotels was only appropriate...so I did. It was pretty fantastic.
Saskatoon is a funny little city. I feel like Saskatchewan had big ideas for Saskatoon but they never really happened. It's very cute and has the largest American apparel I've ever seen(for all those hipster farmers outthere) but there's not a lot going on.
I have to admit I got a little bored. My train didn't leave until 1030 and apparently everything closes at 530 in Saskatoon. So there was a lot if time killing going on.
So i finally got on the trainbut here were no seats so I had to sit in the dome car. At first I thought it was awesome! But then I realized that Alberta is FREEZING!!!!!! It was soo cold so I moved down. I didn't get much sleep on that overnight train. By the time I ended up in Edmonton, got my bag and at my hotel at 8 am I was pretty frustrated. However a man did think i was an olympic athlete... He was a little disapointed when i told him the olympic jacket i was wearing wasnt actually mine and that unfortunatly no i wasnt actually an athlete. He actually scoffed and stomped away... Awkward. All I wanted to do at this point was sleep and be warm and Richard at the front desk would not let that happen! I had some breakfast and wandered around for a while but again nothing is open at 9 am on a Sunday in Edmonton so I hung out in the lobby for a while and watched at least 8 people check out. I finally went to the desk and asked if a room was available and surprise!!! It was! So I napped for a good 3 hours. I hate to waste my time sleeping but I wouldn't have been able to function if I didn't.
I met up with Kellys friend Geoff and we went out on the town! On a Sunday night.... In Edmonton. Haha
So today it's raining so its off to the west Edmonton mall!!! And maybe to the shooting range there... Well see where the day leads. I feel like it's only appropriate to go to a shooting range in cowboy town right?
Alrighty! All for now! I'll let you know how the mall goes later!
Have a great day!
