🇨🇦 Cross-Canada Road Trip: Regina Edition

Our stop in Saskatchewan's capital was cut short by 50km/h winds (even the ducks were struggling! 🦆💨), but we still uncovered some gems: 🏛️ Must-Visit Stops 1️⃣ University of Regina & Wascana Lake Indigenous-inspired campus (even the lake’s name has First Nations roots) "Note to self: Prairie winds > hurricane gusts" – lasted only 10 minutes outside! 2️⃣ Saskatchewan Legislative Building Free guided tours (like Ottawa’s Parliament!) Cool details: ⏳ Fossil-filled limestone walls (spot the ancient sea creatures!) 🖼️ Historic paintings of "important white guys in wigs" (guide’s words, not mine) 📵 Strict photo rules: Snap pics, but no videos or stranger close-ups 3️⃣ Royal Saskatchewan Museum Pay-what-you-want (min $5) Highlights: 🦖 Dino fossils + saber-tooth replicas 🌾 Elusive prairie chicken exhibit ("Saw it in glass, not grass!") 4️⃣ RCMP Heritage Centre $15-ish entry: Skip the history section if police archives aren’t your thing Fun part: Dress up as a Mountie and "solve" a mock crime! 👮♂️ 🍲 Hidden Foodie Gem Good Fortune Kitchen Must-orders: 🍆 Fish-fragrant eggplant hotpot (authentic wok hei!) 🍛 Beef brisket curry – fall-apart tender 🍚 Pineapple/Yangzhou fried rice combo ("Sweet-savory perfection") Owner’s charm > slow service (he cooks solo!) 🌾 Final Thoughts Saskatchewan is Canada’s most underrated province! Between the: Otherworldly badlands Rich Indigenous history Unexpected urban eats It deserves a full-week itinerary, not just a pit stop! #Regina #Saskatchewan #CrossCanada #UnderratedCanada #FoodieFinds
