Greetings from Brandon, Manitoba! We arrived here around 6 after doing some motel shopping. This is the second night that we have been blessed with a reasonably priced room. Last night we all got a very good night's sleep. No one kept anyone awake with their "sleeping sounds." This morning we passed through some sugar beet country and even saw a plant with a sign that read "Crystal Sugar." There also were a lot of large elevators. We spent some time in the International Peace Garden on the border between North Dakota and Manitoba.
One of today's pictures is of the 9-11 memorial made of pieces of steel from the World Trade Center. The other is of the rock that tells about the memorial.
After sitting and waiting patiently at the customs station for about 20 minutes, we showed the lady our passports, told her our last names and why we were going to Canada, told her where we lived and went on our merry way. The road we were on first in Canada was poor to say the best. The speed limit converted to 70 mph, but I set the cruise on 50 and felt that was more appropriate. That road only last briefly and we had a little construction and were on to a good road.
This has been Linda writing tonight, and Ila wrote last night. It is a little difficult for some of we senior citizens to learn to type on a laptop.
