    Monday we headed out of the Canadian Rockies, east on the Yellowhead hwy, to the prairies of Alberta and our next destination at Alberta Beach Golf and RV Resort. We took a bike ride around Alberta Beach. Interesting fact: most folks keep their boats on lifts out on the lake vs mooring or docking, we were told due to wind and ice.
    Tuesday we drove to Edmonton visited the Government House, rode our bikes along the Saskatchewan River, shopped at the West Edmonton Mall and provisioned at Costco. The mall was awesome with indoor water and amusement parks, 5+ food courts, skating rink and a huge Asian market with delicacies such as marinated pork bung and happy pig custard buns. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Edmonton_Mall
    Wednesday we drove to Wabamun Lake, not much to see, and Spruce Grove.
    Thursday we headed to downtown Edmonton wandered around Winston Churchill Square, where the Lebanese Festival was in full swing, then to Chinatown where we had lunch at a fantastic Italian bakery/deli.
