Trip 1: Entry 5 - Glenboro, MB 15:45 (CDT)

Just another quick update since internet is free and easy. People here are incredibly friendly. I am camped at the fair grounds at the edge of the small town. There is a decent size groccery store, a pharmacy and I have a doctor's appointment for 16:15. The librarian will let me borrow some stuff to read and then drop it of in the post office mail drop since they don't have one at the library. Since I have some time to kill I dropped by the K-12 school and offered to show slides (I brought a USB memory key) from South America. The prinicpal is a biker too and has set up a presentation for a gr. 7 social studies class tomorrow morning. He even offered me the use of their shower and to do my laundry!!

Despite my fast pace, I should say that I still have some great moments where I interact with locals. Over one coffee in nowhere Saskatchewan, the store clerk told me about her father's bad diabetic lows and how she had to keep the car keys from him. Yesterday in Brandon a tattooed, BMX riding hard-life young guy chatted with me for a bit outside the Super Store. Many people have honked and waved too. All good stuff.

Better head to the Doc's for a little show and tell. Hopefully I can get some high powered drugs to clear this up pronto.
