The Rolling Praries...Manitoba

The land is flat and the temperature is brutal...but, it sure is eye-catching. The mustard fields are just spectacular and appear as though they were stolen right from Van Gogh's canvas. I think growing up surrounded by mountains and hills has jaded me a little, because I remember when I saw the ocean for the first time I was so amazed that I could see for miles and miles without end...I've had the same feelings here in Manitoba..just with land, not water!

This past weekend, Josh and I went camping in Riding Mountain National park, 100 km North, and we had a lot of fun. We found the perfect spot to pitch our tent, right on the bank overlooking beautiful lake Audy. The weather has been so warm and Josh decided to take a dip in the lake and convinces me that I wanted to join him...all was well until I discovered the leeches that were using my foot as an all you can eat buffet! (screech...)

We went for a 30K mountain bike ride, we saw many deer, a black bear, and an otter. We didn't however see any bison...not even in the bison enclosure...Josh and I got annoyed and decided that it must be a gimmick to lure in the tourists!!!

Anyway, we are home now, safe, away from the leeches and the mozzies!

This is a picture I took right before one of Manitoba's numerous tornados!
