ToonCity and Saskattractions.

If someone would ask me: Give me some words to describe Saskatoon? My answer would be: River, Art, Salsa, Beautiful People, Dark skies and Aboriginal day. The Saskatchewan River runs straight through the city. We see high waterlevels these days because heavy rains in different parts of the province cause heavy flooding.


We had great times in this cultural city thanks to a lot of lovely people. Rachelle and Josephine, thanks for showing us the city in a different way, we'll meet again in Europe and our hospitality will be as generous as yours. Thank you to the twinsisters -Elly and Erika- and Joshua for the story about dogs...: ), remember Gentse Waterzooi en Crêpes!


  


























That's right, we made Gentse Waterzooi and we thaught this young crowd how to make Crêpes, lijk int pannekoekenhuizeke. And meet Arley, a very smart little girl with El Salvadorian roots. Another kid just crossed my lens, hanging around, having fun and totally unknown feat. His Deck,The Beauty and the Hound!















Rachelle was our guide and our guide loves Salsa. One Latino Night and a Salsa By The River introduced us to this beautiful latin dance. Thumbs up for Martin and Tamara: Mexican vibes on the dancefloor! Flowing like a South American wind before a North American thunderstorm!


And if the night falls and the storm comes, the clouds take over the dance! The cold breeze chases away the stuffed mosquitoes and the dark black and blue sky whispers...goodnight Saskatoon, goodbye, it was our pleasure.




















21st of June, National Aboriginal Day in Wanuskewin Heritage Park, North of ToonCity. An interesting rainy day full of Native art, dance and wonderful artists. After a long and very sad (hi)story...the 21st century calls Native people, Heritage. Definitely something to think about. But again, beautiful people and interesting stories about Heartbeats, Katanka and Gitchi Manitou.



Time to travel on my friends, we end this story tomorrow with a special visit thanks to Alex and Maureen. Next stops: Drumheller, Calgary, Waterton Lakes, Bannf, Jasper, Whitehorse, Dawson City...Alaska!


Goodnight, Goodmorning...
One Love
THTh.
