Hi from ELBOW, Saskatchewan... the name hits right by the funnybone. eh? eh? hilarious, right? ya, i know.. I"m a regular comedian.

Anywayyy, I just got here last night and I'm staying at a cabin (it's right by Lake Diefenbaker), which is something a little different. I went on a killing spree with the various spiders in here last night, then moved on to mosquitoes. It was such a sound sleep afterward haha

For the past 3 days I was in Dafoe, Sk. This 'town' consists of 11 houses (4 of which were abandoned), some sort of factory, and the truck stop/restaurant/convenience store/gas station/motel which I stayed at. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my little motel room off the highway. During my spare time, I visited the nearby town, Wynyard... hit up a store closing sale. The store was second hand older women's fashions, so naturally I bought some [not used] pantyhose and bonded with the ladies. I contemplated hitting up the golf course but figured the other players would just get mad at me for holding them up since my skills aren't quite up to par. (see what i did there? hardy har har)
I also decided to go for a run along the highway once. This was interesting..
I was stalked by a bird flying directly overhead (not sure if it thought i was prey, or perhaps just wanted to poo on me), was nearly blown over my the wind (both natural and produced by the 18-wheelers zipping by), annnd almost threw up by a rancid smell, which I discovered to be a rotting deer in the ditch next to me. I switched sides of the road.
My gps equipment was also on the fritz, so I visited Saskatoon on my drive from Dafoe to Elbow, where my boss was staying and was able to fix/replace the faulty items.

Other Notes
As you can see above, I have now spotted some lamas.. tried to go hang out with them but they kept to the other side of the field.
I'm lovin' the sunsets in Saskatchewan! It's just SO flat here, and there aren't really any mini forests to separate land like there were in Manitoba, so the view is always amazing.

That's about all that's new!
Miss you all,
Erin

P.S.
OMGGGG just had the most amazing jogging experience ever! I got to go right up to the edge of this cliff/dune and run along there overlooking the Lake, ran down a hill to the beach, and on my way back up noticed i was about 25 meters from a deer who was just watching me comfortably (I guess I don't look too threatening when dying from climbing up a serious incline)... kept running and saw a rabbit mother and 2 babies, then saw another deer (different one) who was even closer! annnnd to top it all of there was a rainbow. It all reminded me strongly of a cheesy movie scene.
... but of course I was just loving it.
Just thought I'd share!
byyeee
