Good morning.

Hi all! I got home last night. Good trip overall. After the first very rainy day driving, I only had light rain a couple times. Otherwise it kindly rained at night. I did the Dakota Zoo twice on my own since Derek was working and the Winnipeg Zoo. The trip to Canada went well, though they decided to search the car when we crossed into Canada. My sister who has been married to a Canadian for over 30 years, said we were an easy check off. Crossed in North Dakota and it was really not busy at all. Basically no wait. Then when we came back, he just asked a couple questions and sent us off. For a big city, Winnipeg was really nice, did take some adjusting to driving though. My speedometer is not digital and the kilometers is an inside ring that's lighter and hard to see in bright sun, so I was happy to have my navigator along to keep my speed on track. The traffic light system is different, too, though understandable. Signs are also different. Since I didn't get to hike in Marquette due to rain, I stopped yesterday and hiked for an hour. Derek's cat is like a tornado! She knocked my mug off the bit of counter next to the sink and broke it. I got a replacement at Derek's zoo. Then when we got back from Winnipeg, it truly looked like a tornado went through. Because it's such a tiny space it's already a bit cluttered and it had all my stuff added. Anything that could be knocked over or rolled around was. Derek has a TV tray folding table that he puts his dishes on to dry, since he has no counter and she'd collapsed it and everything was on the floor, anything by the sink was in the sink and there are two cupboards above the sink that she had opened and gotten into and knocked things over, and the cupboard under the sink was open. Stuff was also in the bathroom sink. And the woman he got her from, who seemed to have taken her in because a relative could no longer have her, told him she was the kind of cat who just laid around. LOL She also fell in the bathtub after I'd gotten out, and while there was still water in it. She did not like that!

This morning I did an AOLIH mix, Pyramid Pump Upper Body and the P30 Extended Stretch.
