Day 18 - Edmonton

We headed north to Edmonton in the morning. Edmonton has basically two cores, modern downtown and Old Strathcona which is a spot preferred by the hip crowd. Tattoo saloons and pubs line the main street of Strathcona, people sitting and watching the people on the street, or the other way around. We had lunch here and I tried the local specialty, jambalaya, which is a risotto-style dish with a little bit of everything in it. There isn't much more in Strathcona than to just to walk the street one way and that's it.

We then went back to the modern downtown just to find that pretty much everything closed down at 4-5pm. We wanted to see the Legislature BUilding (I know, again, but once you started to watch all the Leg's in the other provinces it becomes a series that you want to complete) They supposed to close at 5pm, but at 4:30pm the doors were already closed.

There is really not much going on in this city. Never mind, just a quick look at the architectures in downtown is just enough then and in turn I can get to bed early. Being on the road for so long this can feel very good now and then, believe me. I have seen Edmonton, nothing there, believe me. If you feel otherwise, tell me what did I miss.
