More BDI Ice Cream & Leo Mol Sculpture Garden

 Winnipeg, MB

At the BDI Mural

Winding Down

Today we went to BDI Ice Cream again.  We had to visit at least one more time while we are here.  Our last visit was great.  This time we got reasonably sized ice creams and didn't end up taking many photos.  


After Ice Cream we headed over to Assiniboine Park to visit The Leo Mol Sculpture Garden.  It wasn't the grand contemporary art kind of sculpture garden but rather the naked women, clothed men, and bears type of sculpture garden.  We also visited the English Garden which was way better IMHO.  There were tons of flowers and we even saw our first hummingbirds in a long time (for us).  


Just a naked woman working on her abs.

I wish there were more like this.

That was pretty much it for today.  We did have a small adventure yesterday to Half Pints Brewing to have a beer and play pinball.  I got to talk to the brewery about beer and Winnipeg and other stuff.  It was a nice trip and the beers were great.






Things are pretty dead around here.  It's Labour Day Weekend here in Winnipeg and I guess everyone heads to The Lake for one last hurrah before school starts and summer ends.  

I did notice the other day that we ended up getting 2 more county equivalents when we went to Assiniboine Downs.  One was pretty obvious after looking at our route but we entered one by entering a clover loop while switching highways.  The line runs right along the highway so the loop takes you into the next county equivalent.  Pretty fun (for me).

The highway obscures the line so I drew it in black to show what I am talking about.

We only have 3 real days left here so things are slowing down.  We are really looking forward to our road trip through ND, SD, and NB on our way to Denver and then our month in Denver will be fun.  We have friends there and we have a couple of friends flying out to hang with us (and other people, but mostly us I tell myself).

If you missed 5 Pin Bowling check it out.  You'd think it would be half the price of "real" bowling but it isn't.
