As a transplant from Victoria I suppose people expect me to dislike a prairie winter. But in the midst of the cold and seeming desolation there is the simple honesty of Earth, asleep for a season but gathering strength to emerge once again according to the ancient rhythm of the seasons .
The prairies are honest and unpretentious, like the people who live here. You get what you see. You get wide open vistas that extend all the way to the horizon, and the most beautiful sky on Earth.
I came up to Winnipeg via Minnesota and I think the railroad was the Soo line but my memory is weak these days. I took Rock Island railway from Rock Island - late 14 hours (the Chicago fianciers were draining the line of cash I think) and the soo line was 45 minutes late to W'peg.
Very monotonous scenery,I guess it would just make you glad that you're in a comfy warm train with good food to eat.
