Well, here we are in Winnipeg!   We had a very smooth and uneventful trip (until we got lost getting to the hotel!).  We would have made it here in less than 12 hours except it took us 30 minutes to get across the border.  No problems, just lots of people.  

We got checked in at the Comfort Inn and then headed to a nearby ATM for Canadain $ and the local McDonald's for our dose of salt and grease for the day.  

We are pretty pooped tonight since we have been up since 4:15, so it will be an early bedtime.   Our train leaves at 11:45 AM tomorrow, so we plan to leave the hotel at 10:00 to head downtown to Union Station. It is a lovely evening here in Winnipeg.   The sun just set and our fingers are crossed for a sunny and warm day tomorrow.  

Hope all is well back there in Wisconsin.
