MY CANADA Part #14
Edmonton, Alberta, CA


Edmonton, The capital of Alberta and home to the "Oilers" Hockey team (you remember, the Canadian team that made it to the Stanley Cup finals but couldn't quite clinch the cup - refer to previous posts).
It is also home to the largest shopping mall in the world, West Edmonton Mall. It's all about the mall.

This mall has everything;-

..Pink Flamingos. Yes real live Pink Flamingos. There's about 10 of them that live in this enclosure and exist on a rich brine flow fed to them daily.



...A Pirate boat floating in a large mass of water upon which rowing boats can be hired to row your loved one around in romantic bliss.

...An indoor swimming pool that has a wave generator, which can produce waves up to 5 feet in height, enough to get your surfboard out and get into the 'green room'.






...The largest indoor water slide in the Northern Hemishpere. Just leave the names of your children for my next visit so I can indulge in this piece of great entertainment and not look like some adult geek.


...A Ice arena, full size for a game of hockey. The best thing about this is that it has it's own Zamboni!!!! Damn I love those things (refer to previous postings)





...Did I mention that there are shops there. No, really, there ARE shops there and there is still room for the shops amongst all the 'other' attractions. Hundreds of them, over many acres.



So, that's Edmonton and it's mall. It's all about the mall.

A special thanks to Vicki L. You, me and a Couger bar.
