Surprising Regina 2

We headed to the Royal Saskatchewan Museum after a morning doing necessary washing duty in the hotel laundry. Thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits and we made sure we did the Indigenous history galleries first. Of special note were the diorama and static displays of arts, crafts and other material as well as excellent animal models in different types of landscapes. Lunch at Subway and a late light dinner in the hotel.
In all Regina has been very surprising: larger and more sophisticated and historically minded than we expected. But it lacks our cafe culture and finding a good cup of coffee has eluded our best efforts. We have met and talked with a few people and one couple staying in the hotel wanted us to come to their farm and show us around their area near Virden. We gratefully declined because we really wanted to get to Lake Superior as soon as we could. Our goal beyond that is an area called the Maritimes before we have to turn back to Quebec and Montreal. Still this gives you an idea of how warm the people are here.
