Another day, another Canadian town slogan.
Did I drive 40 miles for a yoga class this morning? Mhm. Yup, that was me. For more info on said yoga class, check out that other blog I write -- the link it to your right. If you're too lazy to open a new tab, know that yoga was bangin' and I love my bangin' yoga body and that the drive was worth it.
As you can probably guess from the title of this post, yoga was in Swift Current, which is the nearest "city" to Kyle. They've got the closest Walmart as well but we still didn't find very much to do there. To be fair, however, we were in a lazy day mood and not a find obscure tourism things to do mood. We visited the Modern Family Diner for brunch after yoga and had some monster breakfast before driving back to Kyle. The drive took us through the Saskatchewan Provincial Park, which wasn't much except for the fact that unlike what else we've seen of SK, it wasn't totally flat.
Back in Kyle, our homestay's sons were determined to take us to see the town (although there wasn't much left to see at this point). We mainly got the history of drunken high school parties in Kyle for the first half of our drive but then they took us out to their ranch, where we got to learn all sorts of things about cattle and where they kindly gave us boots so we didn't totally wreck our shoes. We even got to pet a cow! ("The ugliest one they've ever raised" -- she was apparently rejected by her mother for being too small and is docile and friendly, unlike the rest of their herd).
We drove back to our homestay after that and had pizza for dinner before watching The Theory of Everything on TV (because apparently, you can already do that in Canada). Off to Cessford, AB in the morning, or as the residents of Kyle put it "Huh? They must be smaller than us."
