The Association conference started full-on ahead with a day of meetings so I had to find alternative ways of keeping myself busy. First, however, I had to return the rental car which we only had for 24 hours. I left for downtown Edmonton just after 8am. Edmonton is a simple city to navigate as majority of its streets are numbered which made it easier for me to get to Thrifty’s at the corner of 102 Avenue and 105 Street.
After returning the car I set off on an epic walk through downtown Edmonton to Kingsway Mall to pick up some souvenirs for a certain family member. From the Kingsway Mall I made my back towards downtown. The whole trek around downtown must have been at least an hour and a half of walking but it was worth it as it allowed me to see more of the city including the Ukrainian museum (closed at the time I was there) and Chinatown.
It was then back to public transit as I took a bus to the stop closest to the Marriott which is still at least a kilometer away. At the hotel, I spent more time at the casino while the Association meeting was still going on. In the evening, we ate the hotel restaurant which featured a seafood buffet. Heather and I opted out of the buffet and instead had sandwiches from the menu.
