Our first day on our trip to the southern USA was spectacularly uneventful.  Chris insists that when we travel to the south I am not allowed to stop for photographs more than once. If that much! For a meanderer like me that is very difficult. That requires an ascetic attitude like a monk. But I must comply.

Our first day out, it  took us so long to pack that we ended up eating lunch/breakfast at Oak ridge at the edge of Steinbach.  For awhile it looked like we might not make it past St. Pierre Manitoba on our first day of traveling. St. Pierre is only 20 miles from home, Needless to say we are not quite crack of dawn travellers.

We actually made it to Wahpeton North Dakota.  And I took no photographs.  But we were on the road We were off on the grand finale tour.  Like a Jerry Seinfeld show where nothing happened. Who could expect more? we made it through day one. When you think about it, when you are travelling excitement is not necessarily a good thing. Nothing happening is a good thing.
