Riding into the sunrise.

We zigzagged across the prairies through familiar small towns like Lougheed, Oyen, and Leader. We saw a nice sunrise but the rest of the day was overcast and just warm enough to require constant windshield washing.

We enjoyed a great all-dressed at Houston Pizza, reminiscent of old times in Regina after we got married. Their pizza is still the best.

Then we saw the first of the three hockey games on our little road trip. Unfortunately, we lost 6-3, mostly because we took a five minute major penalty and they scored three times in that time we were short.

Good memories of great pizza dinners and junior hockey games.
