The Forks and things

Well, to start with, I just came from The Forks. I've always enjoyed going to the Forks and experiencing that unique urban market vibe. It's quite fun actually, but I'm rarely inside when I venture into that area of downtown Winnipeg. I usually enjoy the magnificent scenery and beautiful walk ways. Today, however, I went on a mission; LUNCH! I didn't complete my task, I was looking for wraps, couldnt' see them on anyone's menu, I found them online and they looked scrumptious. They're veges and noodles wrapped up in a blanket of rice paper. Honestly, looked so good, here's a picture.

I know, how good do those look. Anyway, I thought I was at the right restaurant/quicky food station - but like I said, nothing on the menu. I ended up just getting the tradish meal (combo 1; chow mein, veges and chicken). It was good, just a little disappointing. It wasn't until I came back that I went back online and realized I was TOTALLY in the right location; and I totally saw them. So, fellow Winnipegers/Fork lovers, if you want these tasty treats, go to the Dragon Express and ask for SALAD ROLLS. Duh.

Anyway, even though my mission was to get these tasty treats (and a cinnamon bun, which was successful, but that's for a later date today); I got so distracted by everything else that was going on. There was music; a lovely black man was doing his Jamaican style music on guitar (it was so great, he was just singin and smilin' and lovin' it) and then a young boy... man? I don't know in between there somewhere was playing his cello. What was fascinating about celloboy though; as I walked down the hall, it sounded like there was an orchestra. But nope, one lone cello boy. It was beautiful. Not only is the music great, but I love the cute little indoor market. There's bakeries, florists, wineries, seafood, fruit, veges, and galore! It's so neat to walk around and just see all the people shopping and chit chatting and laughing, even joining in with the musicians. It's such a fascinating atmosphere. I've never really taken the time to enjoy that side of the Forks. But I promise you, there will be pictures posted later about why the Forks is so great.
