University of Alberta interview and back to Westlock
112 miles – estimated 2 hours of driving
University of Alberta was one of my few afternoon sessions. Nick came with me and was able to spend the afternoon running around the campus, enjoying the river running through it and coffee. For lunch we stopped at the student union which is this tall, long, narrow, mall/dorm combo. It is really fun. I think the ISU Rendezvous building is modeled after the UofAlberta model, but it just isn’t even close. Of course we don’t have the same number of students either.

This time for dinner we drove around Westlock and discovered JD’s Roadhouse Café. There were tons of vehicles in the parking lot and we KNEW this was the place. The food was good and I was introduced to the concept of fries with gravy. I didn’t try it but it seemed to be a standard offering, judging by the nearby diners. It’s probably fabulous, but the last thing I need is another high calorie food craving.

We shopped at Sobey’s grocery, and stocked up on stuff for the trip North. They had the most amazing selection of meats and cheeses in their deli. We packed up and got ready for the days of driving ahead.
