This picture is a last view of the prairies on day two, and gives you a good idea of why they call this part of the world “big sky”.

We stopped in Winnipeg about 2:30 AM and by the time we woke up in the morning we were well into northern Ontario, so the scenery for the day was “trees, rocks, lakes, followed by more trees, rocks and lakes”. Beautiful to look at, in its own way, but not great for pictures, so I’ll leave you with this “once-a-trip” picture where we are meeting the Canadian going the other way, from Toronto to Vancouver.
