The Last of Them

These are the last of my phone snapshots from the recent trip down to East Coulee.  After our visit to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, Helena and I picked up a couple of pizzas from our favorite place, Pizza 249.  We headed back out to the trailer in East Coulee with them.  We met up with Frank and Chris and the shop and they shared some pizza with us, and we stayed up late visiting.

The next day it is still rather cold and wet from all the rain and snow.  So we went out for a little drive and toured around the area.  We ended up back at the Newcastle to play pool a second time.  The owners of the establishment are East Indian, and their attached restaurant specializes in East Indian food.  We never tried the food, but both times we played pool they served us a plate of what I believe are nan chips.  I really liked them, though Helena thought they were nothing special.

Later we went back to the Vintage pub so that Helena could get a second dose of her Mac and Cheese.  When we got back out to the trailer in East Coulee, Helena wanted to go out for a night walk around town.  I was freezing, and in the midst of fighting off a bad cold, that I still have to this day.  I didn't really want to go, but I humored her and went along.  We wandered over to the playground by the school, and down by the river, before eventually returning to the trailer.  This was the last night of our five night stay in the valley.  The next morning we packed up and tidied the trailer and hit the road for home.  We did remember to make a stop at the self serve vegetable shack and picked up a few things for back home.
