Sunday in Saskatoon

What a beautiful day! We headed out for church downtown, but our original destination was closed for the month of July, so we went across the parking lot to Plan B. It was meant to be.

The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in the Anglican Diocese of Saskatoon was very nice, indeed. Built in 1912, it is the second most photographed building in Saskatoon. The service was very nice, but it was sad they had so few parishioners. We 10 visitors definitely stood out in the pews.

They had some refreshments following the service and we visited with many of the people before taking the tour of the church and Columbarium. A cemetery it's not! The remains are in glassed cubicles and can contain mementos, pictures, (small bottles of Jack Daniels) and the like. One had the inscription, "I'd Rather Be Golfing". Chairs were placed inside the rooms, along with boxes of tissue for "visiting".

We then decided to head down the street for brunch at the Delta Bessborough Hotel. We wanted to do one similar to Banff Springs Hotel's and weren't sure we'd have many opportunities down the road. It was very nice and I don't think we'll need dinner!

Tonight we'll be heading back downtown for Shakespeare in the Park to see "Merry Wives of Windsor".
