Prairie Boy

Our night in Val Marie at ‘The Convent’ was a sleep down memory lane.  We had stayed here 17 years ago soon after it opened and enjoyed discussions with the owners who are now trying to sell the B&B. Breakfast around the large table supplied both sustenance and conversation with other guests from Yorkton and Toronto. We then went on a 5 km. walk over the Grasslands revealing an abundance of prairie flowers, constant wind, birds, Native effigies, lichen covered rocks and 360 degree vistas.

 

Then it was back to Val Marie for a coffee and on to Shaunavon for a visit with a friend, Joanne from Cathy’s connections with the Trans Canada Trail. We were about to go out for supper when the power went out so we found a burger truck that had it's own power plant. The burger was actually quite delicious.
