Wow! What a crazy vacation it's been so far!

Edmonton by far is gonna be my favourite city! I can't wait to go to the West Edmonton Mall. As I have been from the start of my vacation, I'm going to be spending two days in Edmonton. Over the course of the two days, I'll be visiting numerou

s places. The destinations I've chosen today are the Art Gallery of Alberta and the West Edmonton Mall. Here are some pictures:

Overall, today should be really fun! I can't wait to go to the huge amusement park in the West Edmonton Mall! It's gonna be so much fun! I can see it, at the end of the day, i'm gonna be so tired from all the walking and work that I'm gonna have to do there at the mall. Oh well!
