As opposed to other major cities in Canada, Winnipeg may pale in comparison citing its subdued cosmopolitan character, for example. Having a humble downtown area and quaint little houses (in core city area) - among other things, Winnipeg has still maintained its charm that is uniquely different fro…

Well we are now on day 3 in the City of Winnipeg.  Yesterday we spent our time walking around.  It is a nice city  - has a good feel to it - but there really isn't much to do!!  We have however found a really cool internet cafe that serves good coffee - could easily sp…

(cont'd...) We landed at Winnipeg International Airport 30 minutes past five in the afternoon. It is still the same airport that I used to like; it is not as busy, the concourse is short, its parking is ample, and the technology is there, yet I could still sense a hometown feel …

(cont'd...) Assiniboine Park, one of two major parks in Winnipeg that I learned to love. Throughout the seasons, it has never ceased to inspire any nature-loving individual. To us, it offered a lot of good memories: a place that had become our cool comfort to unforgiving prairie…

After an exhausting day of hiking, we set sail for Killarney the following morning.  We sailed between the islands of Fathom Five National Marine Park, but did not stop to explore (we would have if I were the captain of the ship!)  We reached Killarney with enough time to drop a kayak in …

(cont'd...) Our hanging out at The Forks was suddenly disrupted by a downpour. Spring season, as expected, could surprise everyone with its fresh and cold showers; we were not exempted. Good thing I was able to take some pictures before sprinting back to our minivan. Well, the opportunity was not a…

Winnipeg Band Trip High School Day 3 This is day 3 of our band trip in Winnipeg. Today we get up this morning and 3 other guys from our class tell us about this good place for breakfast called the A - Ok Café near the Best Western Clarian Inn just down the street. The 4 of us decide to try this …

Day 2 of Winnipeg Adventure. I get up later this morning around 10am. Even though I was in bed at 5am. I am up now. I head out a bit on the city. The hotel I stay at has a complimentary breakfast here just buns and coffee. Funny thing is lobby is full of people taking advantage of this, but those p…

I work as a flight atendant for Calm Air in Manitoba & Nunavut Canada. You can only imagine how freaking cold the weather gets up there- I havnt seen the Churchill polar bears( but will include some friends photos) but got to play in "Miss Piggy" a airplane reckage from the 70's( and the pilots did survive by the way) I get to go up to these place 2 -5 times a month for a period of 2-3 days so I make the best of it as the airfare is not cheap to reach the true north. It truely is world class.

I wasn't really expecting much when I went to the Red River Exhibition in Winnipeg. I had seen the ads in the Winnipeg papers and decided to check it out. I had a great time. I went through all the government and commercial exhibits and spent hours photographing people and colours of the midway. Wh…

a scattered glimpse at some travel memories through photographic glimpses....

     For starters I should explain that I met Lori while racing through Europe on my Contiki tour.  We ran through florence, rome, venice, Munich, and amsterdam together, and she we only slow down occasionally, when I couldn't keep up, to call me a girl and motivate me to g…

My 10,000 mile five week drive around the Southwest US, up the west coast, across the Canadian Rockies and Prairies, through the Great Lakes Region, across the Appalachians, through New England and all the way to Newfoundland.
