Batoche on Thurs. + a wedding on Fri.

Last Thursday I took my Social Science class on a class trip to Batoche. (It was the second last day it was open for tours and it won't open again until next spring.) Here I am on the St. Laurent Ferry on the road to Duck Lake after visiting Batoche National Historic Site. The ferry was disappointingly fast; we had about a five minute ride across the South Saskatchewan. I didn't ask the ferry operator but I suspect that a new powerful motor was installed as the trip used to take about 15 minutes. The students who went really enjoyed the trip and the interesting stories that the tour guide told, even if some of the stories were a bit far fetched.
Then on Friday I was at Joyce Taylor and Tony Armstrong's wedding. Apparently it was Mano who played the part of matchmaker. It was good to be able to visit a bit with Scot and Mano at the reception.
