Last weekend we took in the free attractions day in Edmonton. Yes, free! (with a donation to the food bank) We planned to see Fort Edmonton, the zoo, the Muttart Conservatory, and go swimming. Turns out though, that we're not the only people who heard about this free day, and so the last three didn't happen due to ridiculously long line ups.
I should have taken more pictures, but I was struck in awe as my wife all but stumped the interpreters with her questions. And it's not because she couldn't, she just didn't want to embarrass them, really. When we came to one, I asked "Hey, old fashioned man, where'd you get that hot tea?", and then Kelsey goes and one ups me with "I notice that you're dressed as a Voyageur. Wouldn't that have been a little out dated in the time period you're representing?" and "When you say Winnipeg, don't you mean Lord Selkirk's region?" It was fun to see them squirm!
Like I said, I should have taken more pictures. General impressions: the Fort is huge, and they do a great job. Really Cool: the fact that they have an 1885 bakery. I had "Frontier beef stew with slab of bread". Mmmm.
