Here, Jasper. Sit by the window. I've opened it a crack.

Uh-Oh!

STOP THE BUS!!! Hurry off, Jasper! Out of our way!!! Over to the side of the road!

What did you consume last night! No, I don't want to know.

We will now travel to Historic Downtown Medicine Hat
One of the first things you will see is the Esplanade which is currently being built.
This is what it will look like finished


The Esplanade is a huge controversy here, since most people think it is a waste of money

It will be a cultural and arts center which most people here don't want! As of December, it was no where near finished (still isn't) and is already a few million dollars over budget

I think he is okay now. He has been spending too much time partying. I think we'll find a cab and head back to the hotel. We'll catch up later. Meanwhile, I think I'll give him a lecture on temperance...

Buuuuurp! hic!

So I have to leave you for the day now, but remember just relax and look around


I know, I know nothing too exciting, but Medicine Hat is the SENIOR CITIZEN CAPITAL of Canada


Take the tour, go shopping, have something to eat, or just hang out at the hotel

Have fun! I will meet you all at the hotel tonight around 10:30 PM to go out to Ralph's!!!

(and I am really sorry for the lack of good pics
I can't seem to find any
)

Hi Everyone! Hi Ashley, even though I know you're off at the salt mine just now. Sorry I slept in this morning -- was kinda bushed. Nice to have a bit of a lazy day, prowling around Medicine Hat, and taking it easy. Thanks for setting us up so that we could amuse ourselves to whatever extent feels good. I don't own any REALLY warm clothes so I guess I'd better go acquire some -- thanks for the heads up on that, Ash!
See you all later on.
