Day Off in Regina

So, today I hung out with Andrew and Melissa (a girl we met at the hostel).
Andrew and I started by taking our bikes to get looked at at Dutch Cycle. (Ask the people at the hostel where it is. It's a great place. Really nice people that know tons about bikes).
Then we met up with Melissa downtown and tried to find an antique mall that was listed in my guide book. We searched everywhere for it but came up with nothing. Apparently we just didn't go far enough. Oh well, I'm sure it wasn't that good anyways:)
We then walked around the main park in Regina. It's supposed to be the biggest innercity park...um....ever...or something like that. Bigger than Central Park. It also has another record. It has the longest bridge spanning the shortest water. oooohhhh aaahhhhh!
We saw the legislature and dipped our feet in the fountain on the grounds. We also dipped our feet in a fountain at the University of Regina which was our next stop.
We basically just hung out and walked around all day. Altough there didn't seem to be much to do I got a really good feeling about the city. On our way back to the hostel we stopped into the grocery store and picked up some food which we BBQ'd. Mmmm soo good.
Later in the evening we met some other hostelers from Ottawa and some from the Seattle area.
Some of us tried to get ice cream but the place was closed so we settled for convenience store ice cream instead. It was a very restful day off.
