New Canada money - made of plastic-
lasts a long time - hard to fake |
Monday started at 4 AM - with a quick breakfast and Uber ride to the airport. Fast Forward after 3 good flights to Atlanta - Minneapolis - and Winnipeg. Most of the last leg was over giant squares of farmer fields in the Great Plains of Canada. In the middle of these flat lands loomed a city of 700000 people.
When we landed - the University had a driver with a sign waiting for us - but we told him that we had a rental car waiting. The drive to our Holiday Inn on the south side was easy. We had lunch and were camped just north of the University of Manitoba.

| The Red River meanders thru town |
From the air we saw the Red River with its big menaders as it rolls right through the city - north and south.
Tuesday and Wednesday - Lulu and Julianne - another FSU professor will do the workshop. After that we have 5 days to tour around Canada. It is a big country - and roads are measured in thousands of miles.

Lots of places to plug cars in - not for batteries
but for engine heaters |
