I’m guessing a walk to Starbucks in Winnipeg is a little different than in other parts of the world so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and chronicle mine.
Looking back at my igloo as I leave. (It’s a long way so I usually leave at dawn)
I go past my neighbours, Jill and Jack Frost. I see Jack is getting an early start on planting the flower beds! He’s crazy. He really should wait another week or so.
Unfortunately as the day lightens up the wind picks up!
Almost downtown… just one more urban obstacle to scale.
Up and over takes me to the historic entrance to the downtown district.
This is the first thing you see as you enter downtown. He’s been frozen there for almost three years now. People used to complain to the city but now he’s pretty much just accepted as part of the local colour. Kind of like graffiti.
Ah downtown. Some of these igloos date back to the nineteenth century. I love the city.
Main street gets a little crazy at rush hour though!
The Starbucks is a few blocks past downtown so I usually hop on the public transit for the last bit.
Our Starbucks tends to pack out so the parking lot is always full.
It’s dusk but I made it!! Here I am trying to see if I can find a free table.
I usually stay the night and then walk back the next day. To see that walk chronicled just scroll back up slowly and read the comments and view the pics in the reverse order.
