After lunch it was still raining so we returned to our hotel room. We spent the day on mundane matters. Once in a while that is good. Just don’t make a habit of it. These matters included reading, blogging, some history by Barbara Huck on the fur trade, the Winnipeg Free Press and New York Times on line. And above all laundry. Even on vacation laundry needs to be done. A dreary task that needs to be done.

In our hotel we had a TV with 5,818 channels. Unbelievable. Yet we could not get our TV with 5,818 channels to work. We called for the Hotel Teckie. He fared no better than us Luddites. The television is so complicated no one can understand it. We are OK with that. We have watched hardly any TV in 2 weeks on the road. Why start now? We are travelling for 6 weeks and can’t take excitement every day.

Sometimes mundane is good.
