Tribute to Edmonton.
Posted By: Mallee Boy, 04-22-2009, 02:50 PM

For something a little different.

We live in many and varied places scattered across the globe, and from time to time we visit other forum members' towns / cities. I was surprised recently to learn that Dave lived in / near Edmonton, so Dave, here is my tribute to your city. Have since noted that a few others also call Edmonton home.

Please feel free to contribute to Edmonton, or start your own "Tribute to....." thread on other places where you know a member lives and you have visited.

My lasting impression / memory of Edmonton? Cold!

Cheers
Grant.

I was surprised to find this motorbike museum. I guess the summers must be the popular time for riding, as there is no way I ride in the conditions we encountered.
Looks pretty brave here, but if I had opened the door she would've scampered.

Leaving Edmonton.
Thus my lasting impression of a great time in a very enjoyable city.
Cheers

Left by train for Jasper. The first bit of fun was finding the entrance to the train station. There had been so much snow over night our driver was having trouble working out where the road was, neverless a driveway.

I'm pretty sure the guy on the right is Dave; I can just make out a beer in his hand.

Seriously, an entertaining series of photos and text - well done. Lord, it must be cold there.

Actually Jer, I thought Dave was one on the left, stopping to take a photo of the train....

Oh yes, it was cold, but not unpleasant. I was surprised at how quickly we adapted having come direct from our balmy warm to that.

Nice series Grant haha yeah that must have been me ! Wow Edmonton is a long way from your neck of the woods certainly further than I have travelled. I want to visit Austraila and New Zeland some day. Got most of North Amercia covered - and I taught a course for 3 days in Stockholm (long story ..but interesting haha).

Glad you got to see Jasper as well - beautiful country indeed.
