Mall Rats

The West Edmonton Mall is big. Really big. It takes up almost 3 city blocks and has things spread from the basement level up to a movie theater that extends above the 2nd floor.
What is truly mind boggling is that the place is so big there are 2 of some stores! In fact I'm pretty sure there are 3 Mcdonalds! Even with all that space they still cram and ice rink, amusement park, pirate ship and an aquarium, complete with a sea lion show. Thankfully the only thing it did not have was a Walmart.

Later that day we visited with my old friend Jeremy. I had not seen him in a few years since he moved out here and I was glad to see him again. He showed us around the city a bit and then we went for some drinks and some bowling. John, it turns out, is a really good bowler. As I had not laid my hands on a bowling ball in about 25 years I was smoked both games. Wii bowling has failed me!
