Day 2 in Moose Jaw

Another day in Moose Jaw.  We walked all around their historic downtown area and thoroughly enjoy a tour of their "tunnels."  The tour we chose was about the Chinese population, left over from building the trans-continental railroads. They were cheap labor for laundries, burlap bag manufacturers, and restaurants (at least these were the jobs we observed.) They did all their work underground and also lived there ( in pretty desperate conditions.) We walked through the basements of several city blocks of buildings, all connected by tunnels. The Chinese found some advantages in staying out of site, though, instead of living above ground with the prejudicial treatment that they received in society. The presentation was very well done and the information, very interesting.

We're taking a "break" tonight, staying at the Wakamow Heights B&B.  It sits on a hill, high about the Wakamow Valley where Moose Jaw is nestled.

That's me lounging in front of the B&B
