Followed by a trip to the Forks and a walk across the Esplanade Riel bridge that connects the Forks to St Boniface.
The sole purpose of crossing this bridge, at least for me, was to venture to my absolute favorite dessert place in the world....okay, North America....okay, Manitoba. Which is now out of business! Another great Winnipeg business bites the dust. Oh well, it gave me time to go back to the Forks and have my "fortune" told by a "fortune teller" She seemed pretty accurate - which actually made me excited. I wonder though, it seems to me that people are not all that different so maybe she just says the same thing to everyone and collects her money. I should use this strategy for my retirement plan - if there isn't an apocalypse first. In which case, this fortune teller would be horrible in hindsight. 
Later that night - one of the draws for this trip was to go Steve Aoki in Winnipeg - which is hilarious in my mind for some reason. It has been MANY years since I have done some dancing in my old stomping grounds. The show in my opinion was only okay. I admit I have been spoiled after living in Toronto. It was nice to go out in Winnipeg though and spend some time with my brother. I spent most of my time on the dance floor alone but I will forgive him.....this time.

Why walk all the way to Just Desserts when you can have Salisbury House right on the bridge? Ah, Winnipeg cuisine at it's finest.
I can't tell a lie....on the way back I thought of going into Salisbury house for two reasons.
1) I was terribly disappointed that I did not get a dessert
2) Am slightly embarrassed that I am a Winnipegger that has no recollection of being at a Salisbury house. (*Note: I am not saying that I haven't been there - I just have no recollection of it. Perhaps this is best)
