My first sight of Gimli !

Our  first ever trip to Gimli to mark our 28th wedding anniversary! After we checked in our motel at Winnipeg Beach, we drove 15 km north to find ourselves in Gimli. Can not believe that I had never been to this part of Manitoba ! We left Brandon early in the morning. However, about 30 kilometres before  we reached Portage right on the highway, the  front tire of our car got suddenly flat out . It was a scary moment. We pulled up , and managed to put on the spare tire to reach Portage to get it replaced with a new one at Fountain Tire. I started to paint right away after we reached Gimli marina. I felt physically exhausted after standing unprotected in the sunlight  and looking towards the west  for two hours in the afternoon !
