On our way to Edmonton, we stopped at Elk Island National Park to try and see some bison. We saw some at a distance but none up close. We were unlucky but we know we were in the right place because we saw giant hoof marks. Maybe next time!
In Edmonton, we rode an old-fashioned streetcar over the 100 year-old High Level Bridge, making it the highest streetcar river crossing in the world. A group of volunteers runs the street cars. We rode one car that was built in Osaka, Japan in 1921 and a much newer (and bigger) car from Melbourne, Australia. The streetcar took us downtown to Jasper Avenue where there was an Open Street Festival. We watched dog performers and it was really fun. We then took the streetcar back to Old Strathcona to the Fringe Featival. We watched street performers and I bought a soapstone carving kit. Sven from Sweden was funny. Two festivals in one day and they were huge!
