    Our journey's end is fast approaching, but not before we visit Edmonton, Alberta! Edmonton is known as the "Festival City", and it certainly lives up to its name! Cheyenne and I went to the Edmonton International Street Performer's Festival, and we saw all kinds of unique dances and performances! We also went to the West Edmonton Mall, though I think Cheyenne spent a little too much cash there....

Keep your eyes open for the last post of our journey, when we finally reach Vancouver! Until then!
