Day 11 - I think I'm okay driving my car for a while...

I'm finally back home, and I don't think I've ever been quite this happy to see Winnipeg. The trip was great, don't get me wrong, but the last leg was 8 hours of cold prairies. And nothing can quite compare to sleeping in your own bed. I do have tons of pictures, but I'm pretty tired so I'll upload them tomorrow.
