From Fringers to Folkies!

Only ten days overdue....I am going to update you all from the time we stepped foot in Regina to my current position in Winnipeg.

We left out hotel party in Medicine Hat (which by the way is "The Gas City") late Sunday morning and set out for Regina ( to attend the Regina Fringe Festival - fun fun). We stayed in the Turgeon Hostel for two nights. Turgeon Hostel is quite lovely and has a great location BUT....... we had a near run in with a potential serial killer, which led us to believe that the hostel does not have a guest screening process. Of course we skillfully avoided the creepy serial killer guy, jumped in the car and began our drive to Winnipeg! Yippppeeeeee.....

Winnipeg (which is where I currently am) is lovely! We are staying with Signi & Company ( her lovely family) who by the way is Kristin's cousin. We have been crashing here while we Folk Fested our way through the weekend! Winnipeg Folk Festival has been around for over 30 years ( I think -- I know it's old) and it was pretty amazing. We finished up the weekend by listening to the very very lovely Patrick Watson and I head home tomorrow for my birthdayyyyy.

Thanks for listening folks ( ha ha ) and I'll see you on my next adventure...

adios...

P.S Pictures below!

Kristin and Katy's Pub Hunt 2009

So! Kristin and I are road tripping to the Winnipeg Folk Festival this summer and have decided to make some lovely stops along the way. We are currently in Banff enjoying the beauuutiful sunshine, our daily picnics and the life lessons of undercover narcotic officers! It's wonderful! We are probably heading to Medicine Hat tomorrow to break up the drive to Regina. Anyway, here is some photographic evidence of the loveliness that is Banff mmmmmm....Talk soon!
