We spent Friday working on the coach. Saturday, we headed
into Edmonton to see the city and take in what is now billed as the world
largest shopping center/amusement park complex.
Situated on rolling hills and the west branch of the
Saskatchewan River, Edmonton is a beautiful, very modern city. The
Edmonton Mall is overwhelming, to say the least, but is well worth a visit, if
to do nothing other than people-watch.

All of our "neighbors" decided they were experts at this, so we let them "help." |
