Manitoba and Saskatchewan

Another 2000km or so behind us, and so are Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Both very interesting, if flat fields of canola and wheat are your thing. Or fields with blue flowers - not sure what that is, flax maybe?

We also saw thousands of cows. Much as I enjoy mooing at cows on road trips, it does get a bit old eventually. The wildlife was quite interesting. We saw LOTS of black dragonflies being blown all over the place as they flew too close to trucks, lots of butterflies around too. A few deer, alive and dead, and plenty of porcupines (all dead). A dog-like animal that might have been a wolf. Many birds too, although I couldn't identify all of them. Ducks (or loons), seagulls, hawks, black bird with orange marks on their shoulders, and many others.

Tomorrow we have less than 300km to drive. Hooray!!! Then to the next big event - my appointment at the consulate.
