We can’t go to Edmonton without visiting the West Mall there. We also wanted to see if there was anything left in the leather garment store we visited on the way up; by now the store was out of business. Hmm! Good or bad? After seeing that super light and soft moose leather jacket at Fairbanks, I sort of hoped there was something left in the store.
The Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village was much further away than we thought but our visit there was a trip filled with nostalgia; much of the horse drawn equipment and home utensils we used in the past in Germany and in Uruguay were on display. A bread oven outside with the wooden paddle; sticky fly catchers hanging down from the ceiling in the kitchen; the authentic smell in the horse and cow barn; the chicken coop, all brought back memories of a by gone era.
After walking so much we were too tired to drive much further and stopped near Camrose, AB:
