Day 20. Rest day. May 17. O km.

 

Shopping area east end of Regina. 

0 km today. After yesterday's ride into the wind, we decided to have a rest day in Regina. After all the forecast was for more headwind and our motel room was very suitable for resting. This also gave me a chance to find a new bicycle computer for Gramie's bike and get a screw to re-attach her bell. While we were at it, we picked up a bit of lunch food and chocolate. Fortunately, the motel had a coin laundry for guests, so Gramie did a load of clothes. Sure beats washing clothes by hand in a sink and trying to dry them on hangers. The best thing about today was simply resting most of the day. 

This area of the city along the Trans-Canada Hwy on the east side of Regina, is shopping central. There is every store and restaurant imaginable. The parking lots are huge as are all the individual stores. The only problem appears to be the random placing of the buildings. In any case, we easily found everything that we needed. This picture was taken from our room.

An interesting but irritating event today was someone impersonating our hiking friend, Len, and asking me to send him $400 in Amazon gift cards. It became apparent that it was a scam when the person didn't specify USA or Canadian dollars and made grammatical errors.
