Road Trip Of The Century
I just arrived in Edmonton: yay! I had a sweeeeeet trip. I stopped in Vegreville to see the world’s largest Ukrainian Easter egg….incredible. And while I was there this guy was telling me about a giant sausage link in a nearby town…who can resist a giant sausage monument?? So off I went to Mundare to see SMP’s (don’t ask what that stands for, because I don’t know) monument to their amazing sausage making ability. And the people from the easter egg were at the sausage thing, so I got my picture taken with them. INCREDIBLE! If you’re ever in the market for a road trip, I highly recommend Vegreville and Mundare. Edmonton….not so much. The roads are terrible confusing. Boourns to Edmonton….:P

I’m not sure about the confusing thing. I lived in Edmonton for a summer and I couldn’t believe how the street numbers all went by numbers. It was crazy. That city, at least the older part, is completely grid. Although I will admit that the trails are confusing. Jasper avenue not the lest of which.

I have memories this summer of trying to find the exit for the #2 highway south to Calgary. Passed it since it is named something else. Took us about half an hour extra to get back on the right track

I hope you bought some Mundare sausage too. It’s great stuff. The giant sausage is rather amusing. I remember the first time I saw that thing. I was on my way to YWAM Victoria….

Nope, didn’t get any sausage. I’ll pick some up next time though.
And you’re right Clay, Edmonton isn’t all that bad. It’s just you that makes me dislike it :P
