We have been camping at the Gordie Howe Campground in Saskatoon for the past few days. Between rain, shopping and occasional hikes, it was until this morning that we were able to risk a long walk. Well, the weather cooperated for us so that we decided to go on our twenty kilometre walk. That is, we walked in pleasant cool conditions for about six kilometres before the rain decided to become a constant companion for the next twelve kilometres. The sun did finally come out for the last two kilometres. Despite the rain, it was a very good walk.
We got a good test of our equipment for walking in the rain. I have to be honest; it didn’t rain the whole of the twelve kilometres as it did stop while we were in a coffee house on Broadway where we ate our lunch and Maureen tried out a café con leche as if we were on the actual Camino. It was a good five hours spent in spite of the rain. Now that we are back at the camper, it is time to get things sorted out for drying, download the few photos that we took, and relax.
