On Friday we did laundry in the morning, and then travelled north about 80km north to Gimli. Our friend Chris owns a pub there, so we went to check it out. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn't opening until 3pm and we needed to get back to Winnipeg for a family dinner, so couldn't stay.

We did explore the beach front, and walk around the downtown area. This town has an Icelandic heritage, and they were celebrating that with a festival this weekend, so lots of activity going on.

| Checking out Winnipeg Lake! Warm water again...rocky beach in Gimli |
Winnipeg Lake is the third largest fresh water lake in North America! We didn't have a chance to stop at Winnipeg Beach, but we were told the sand is very fine and a wonderful swimming area. You can wade out quite a distance and still only be waist deep.

We headed back to Winnipeg and had a family dinner with the bride and groom and a good visit with relatives we hadn't seen in awhile from Grand Prairie and Pincher Creek.
