Monday – We left Moorehead, MN at 10:30 this morning. I finally was able to get a post on the blog for each day. It was a long day since we need to average 330 mile a day in order to complete our trip in time. It took us 40 minutes to get through the Canadian border.

After that the drive went well to Steinbach, Manitoba. There we toured the Mennonite Village Museum. This was a settlement replica of the Russian Mennonites first immigration into Canada in the 1800’s. It is hard to imagine being plopped down in the middle of this vast desolate prairie that know body ever tilled with very few belongings needing to provide food and shelter before a harsh winter sets in. It makes me wonder if I would be willing to sacrifice so much so that the future generations would be able to enjoy religious freedom.
From there we drove north to Winnipeg and then west on route 1 to Portage la Prairie where we found a campsite. The campsite has no internet service so hopefully I can post this tomorrow. Since leaving the Winnipeg area we don’t have any phone service either and won’t till we get to Edmonton, Alberta which should be Wednesday.
