Man-Made Wonder

Tonight, I took my girlfriend out on a date and we did something that I have wanted to do for a while now (no, not that!).  We went for a walk in Winnipeg around Portage and Main.  I’ve always thought that it one of the more beautiful parts of Winnipeg due to the architecture, but I have always experienced it from a car that zooms through the intersection too fast.  It was nice to be able to take in all of the architecture of that part of the city.  To be able to walk among such majestic buildings seems almost surreal, especially the Bank of Montreal building with its ancient pillar structure and the statue of the Unknown Soldier guarding the entrance.  The best part of that part of the date was that it was free, as there is free parking a short way away in the Forks, which is also a nice place to walk around in when it is not incredibly busy.  All in all, it was a pleasant evening.
