Manitoba is pretty rural - this is only a few miles outside the Winnipeg City boundary
The Winnipeg Art Gallery is a pretty cool structure:
There is not much of interest in their collection, but they are hosting an Exhibition:
Olympus: The Greco-Roman Collections of Berlin
Being a strong Christian, I am not a fan of art-representing-deities - people used to pray to these things! Having said that, these pieces are from the people who founded our Western Civilization. Notable pieces include:
Head of "Dresden Zeus", 2nd century AD, marble
"Berlin Dancer", 2nd century AD, marble
The Exhibit space is very well laid out, and allows excellent flow:
I went south, through Customs:
into North Dakota:
I'm sorry, but I think that North Dakota looks an awful lot like Manitoba:
Stopped in Fargo for postcards and groceries

Linda Ronstadt - Living In The U.S.A., 1978
"Oh well oh well I feel so good today
We just touched ground on an international runway
Jet-propelled back home from overseas to the USA
New York, Los Angeles
Oh how I yearn for you
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
God I long to be at my home back in old St Lou"
She also sings Little Feat's All That You Dream
"You just follow the rule
Keep your eyes on the road that's ahead of you"
