Pincher Creek to Edmonton

August 8th- Left Pincher Creek, the home of wind power generation. It was in Pincher Creek that we had our most unusual pizza. The tomatoes looked like a hundred giant wagon wheels which totally covered the entire top of the pizza! We drove through windy cattle country for a couple of hours, reaching the little town of Nanton, AB about noon. Grabbed a hot drink at the Wild Thyme Cafe which boasted Italian Food on the menu. Back in the car, we ploughed on through Calgary in the rain and finally had to take a break in the town of Olds at the Tim Hortons. We pressed on to Edmonton and fell deliriously into our hotel room at 4:30 PM. Turned out that we were in the extreme northeast area of town, in a commercial/industrial area full of big box stores. After visiting the EB Games outlet, our stomachs led us to the Red Robin Restaurant. We headed back to our room to rest up for our shopping day at the world's largest shopping mall.
