A Taste of Regina

I'm in the fair city of Regina right now. It has been a pleasant few days so far. My friend Kelsey has shown me around the city and surroundings. We went to the Taste of Regina food festival, a trip to Regina Beach to go kayaking and a picnic in the park. The biking trails around the city are really extensive and the weather is fine.
On the way to Regina I stopped quickly in Medicine Hat and saw the world's largest teepee. It was pretty exciting! I hope I can see a lot more "World's Largest ______" along the way, but that's all I've seen so far. The tunnels of Moose Jaw were a very interesting tour in that nice little Prairie city. Supposedly the tunnels were built for smuggling booze during the prohibition as well as hiding chinese workers. The tour I went on was about the early chinese settlers that built the railways and had to work in appalling conditions for low pay in laundrys and such. Well worth it to stop if you have the time.
Thanks Kelsey for clearing up your work schedule for me and showing me around Regina for 3 days. I will wear my Rider t-shirt with Pride. :)
