So we’re back in Edmonton now, after a very delayed flight – more on that in another post. We actually woke up fairly early this morning and made our way in the rain to the Hockey Hall of Fame. I took around 60 pictures or so, which I’ll post tomorrow for your viewing pleasure. The place was awesome, though not as physically big as I expected. It’s a must-see for any hockey fan. The guy at the front was happy to see some Edmonton fans from Edmonton given our big win last night.
After the HHOF, we walked around downtown for a bit, eventually making our way to Starbucks on the corner of Bay and Queen, where a hobo (and I use the term not in a derogatory way, but highly descriptive) with lots of fruit was sleeping on the sidewalk right next to the road. I have a picture of this too, he was right in the middle of everything! Dickson said “have some respect” when I started taking the picture, and I replied “I would if he had any respect for himself”. I mean seriously, find an enclave or something to sleep in.
With the very depressing weather and not a single local able to point us in the direction of a movie theater, we decided to beat rush hour and hop on the shuttle to the airport where we spent the next few hours using the free Internet in the Expedia.ca cafe. And after that, we made it home. So not an incredibly eventful day, but it was nice.
